"True, and a real problem in the UK where physicians reroute their patients into the private care sector and then treat them, for more."

And your evidence to support that statement is what? When and where was it ever a real problem in the UK? It was an old myth put about by Old Labour back in the 70's to try an explain their amazing mismanagement of the NHS.

I do know that when New Labour "audited" Dr's practices to highlight all the abuses, they found very little. They also found they owed quite a few Dr's addition pay because they were working longer hours than contracted - strangely that didn't get much attention

Certainly, since Gordon Brown encouraged the NHS to buy capacity from the Private sector, waiting lists have gone down.
