see the doctor, or to stay in hospital, and they only

pay part of the cost of their medicines. The bad news

is that the NHS is always running out of money. The

British government spends even less on health than the

American governrnent. And in the USA sick people also

have to pay every time they see a doctor. The NHS has

been admired and enjoyed by British poople since 1946

when it started. The idea then was to look after

people from the cradle to the grave. Free medicine

was part of the welfare state, which gave free

education to the young, money to the unemployed, and

pensious to the old.

　　Slowly, as the yeare pass, problems have grown up.

Govemments are finding that the bills are getting

bigger and bigger. In 1982, L14,000 million was spent

on health. One reason for this is that there are many

more old people now than there were in 1946. Forty

percent of NHS money goes on looking after the old.

Some poople say that the NHS is a luxury Britain can

not afford. They want to bring back more private

medicine, for which people would pay. Free medicine,

they say, should be given only to the poor. Other

people, including many doctors, disagree. Everyone,

they say, has the right to the same medical help. In a

two part system, the rich would always get the best.

This would not be fair. People also disagree about how

NHS money should be spent. Should L15,000 be spent on

each heart transplant operation, when there are not

enough beds for thousands of old people in pain? Should

abortions be paid for by the NHS? Should more money be

spent on the mentally ill? Shouldnt doctors and nurses
