This thread is by no means comprehensive with regards to the #NHIBill but here goes.

Nationalised healthcare, otherwise known as universal healthcare, is generally bound by something called the ‘Iron Triangle’. It states that with regards to healthcare systems you can have any 2 of the following:



- Access

- Quality

- Cost effectiveness



Never all 3.

The reason for this is simple economics which acknowledges that hospitals and doctors are finite resources, and the field of healthcare an ever expanding list of treatement options and procedures. With enough money it is possible to ‘break’ the Iron Triangle but only temporarily.
