Britain’s National Health Service remains broadly popular after July 1 fee increases. The system, funded by taxes and social security, covers most medical care for the population and foreigners, with doctors largely participating. Costs have risen from 490 million in 1948 to about 2.4 billion annually, and new charges include dentures at 14 to 14 dollars, prescriptions 14 to 28 cents, and weekly payroll contributions rising for workers.
