Present health care system reforms, such as the rapid growth of manage
d care in the United States and the introduction of general practition
er (GP) fundholding in the United Kingdom, have some striking similari

Kingdom are so different that some policymakers claim that comparison
s between the 2 systems are almost impossible to make.
