In England, Canada, etc., what happens if a doctor refuses to see government patients? Does he lose his license? Or are doctors forced to work for the national health system, as government employees? If a patient could afford to pay the fees of a private doctor, I’m wondering if there would be any in private practice and therefore whether the patient would have that choice. I would love to hear how these matters are handled in any country with nationalized medicine, and hear from patients, whether satisfied or dissatisfied. Also I’d like to know if a patient can still buy his own health insurance–that is, whether it’s available. Or does nationalized medicine wipe out that part of the insurance industry? Thanks.
