What is this article for? I read all the references which made it clear that health care can be rationed by the simple operation of market forces without any government intervention, and as this was in conflict with the introduction which said something about "how government rations health care" I deleted the reference to government. I see three possible options
1 Is it another place to hang American scare stories about health care restrictions stemming from health care reform? About half the article is in the context of American health care reform- If so the matter is well covered in the American specific article and deserves no mention here.
2 Is it about how governments around the world intervene to affect the allocation of resources that would otherwise happen in a free market? I suspect that this is what Jesanj meant it to be but there are three problems with this.
3. Is it about how governments allocate their own budget to individual health care services? This is a legitimate topic but again
If the purpose of the article it is not about any of the above, then what IS it supposed to be about? And what shoulf the article title be to do justice to it? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.250.230.158 ( talk) 03:18, 29 December 2011 (UTC)
This article looks like it was made for ideological reasons. It cites one left-wing commentator's non-standard use of the word "rationing" (we refer to wartime rationing ending, not wartime rationing going from ration cards to somehow rationing by the market...) to be authoritative and doesn't at all treat the topic in an encyclopedic fashion. It's like Wikitionary if wikitionary were run by partisan hacks. It should be deleted. 108.68.109.22 ( talk) 00:45, 28 August 2012 (UTC)
It certainly has changed a lot since 2013, and not for the better. Even lifetime provisions like stomas are no longer replaced when they fail - an operation which costs £700 - in some Hospital Trusts, without special permission which can be, and is, refused. Update, please, whatever the 'politics' Delahays ( talk) 18:19, 6 June 2021 (UTC)
