| Abstract: | British politicians from both major parties have often looked across the Atlantic to the United States for inspiration in their perpetual struggle to manage the British National Health Service. The US healthcare system is fragmented, chaotic and wasteful, and prevailing American social values and attitudes to health and healthcare are profoundly different from those found in the United Kingdom Even so there are many useful ideas and important lessons to be drawn from the US experience The transfer of policy ideas and innovations needs, however to take account of the differences in culture and context. |
