title: An efficient way to do the wrong thing.
abstract: Britain's national health system (NHS) has been embattled since Thatcherism undertook to privatize it. This Britannic version of the new medicine is a hybrid of a neglected, underfunded shadow of the NHS and robust free-market capitalism. The NHS that the Tory government administers is aptly described as topless, bulging in the middle, and suffering chronic battle fatigue at the bottom. The quality of leadership in the NHS has plummeted at the same time thousands of middle managers have been added to prod the frontline caregivers.
