Interview: Tam McDonald, Harley Street
Tam McDonald, CEO of Harley Street, provides the outsiders perspective on the US health care system. In the UK, which is a single-payor system, solutions to health care are determined centrally, by the government. While the UK spends half what we spend as a function of gross domestic product, the outcomes are higher. But there are stresses within the UK system as well. They have to make hard choices about where to spend tax dollars. Throwing more money at healthcare is not sustainable.
The UK will most likely see a devolution of responsibility from the National Health Service to the consumer. The idea that everyone can get everything all the time is vanishing fast.
