Review of English health insurance scheme findings
Dr and Mrs Walter Orr studied the British system and report that it works within its scope but is costly and limited. The plan provides medical care and cash benefits for low income insureds, funded by 3 4 and 2 ninths contributions from workers, employers, and government respectively. It covers panel doctors, prescribed drugs, and maternity benefits, but omits family-wide protection and disease prevention, leading to concerns about drug overuse and lack of preventive care. The Orrs advocate separating medical and cash benefits and recognizing the family as a unit.
