England health insurance scheme judged workable though costly
Dr and Mrs Walker Orr studied the British health and sickness insurance system in England, interviewing officials, insured workers, and doctors. They found a largely satisfactory scheme offering medical care and cash benefits to low income insureds, but with gaps for dependents, family coverage, and disease prevention. The system, funded by a three four two ratio among employed, employers, and government, covers up to 26 weeks of sickness with doctor panels and prescriptions, yet is criticized for cost and limited family protection.
