Berwick is an admirer of Great Britain's long-dysfunctional National Health Service, the UK's government-run health care agency.
The NHS has rationed health care for years. In Berwick's utopia, "red lists" are maintained. On those lists, the Telegraph reports, are medications that can only be prescribed by an NHS consultant, not a general practitioner. Those drugs include statins, diabetes medications, osteoporosis treatments, and medicine for Parkinson's disease.
Well, the British are rationing with their eyes open, I'll concede them that.
