nhs 1948

a 1948 animation introducing the aims of the british national health service (nhs) introduced that same year.  if you go to the doctor in the u.k. today, you don't see a bill. you don't see a monthly premium bill, either (or a bill for what your premium didn't cover).  if you need to go to the doctor, you just go to the doctor.  the way you enroll your children in a local public school, or the way the sanitation or recycling people just come by ... or the way the police (are supposed to) respond if you call them to report a crime in progress (and you don't get billed) ..
