That's what I put in post #9

Just one point on the insurance/private/public issue. In Sweden I understand provision is very good and outcomes are also very good.
But Sweden funds the treatment, which is provided by the private sector.

We really need to look at options around the world, as many work better than ours and are still free at point of use.
