In Britain:
As alternatives to the NHS [National Health Service} are considered, which model of healthcare will Britain adopt?
The French, the Swiss, the German or the American?
Theodore Dalrymple thinks it might well be the Zairean –
Theodore Dalrymple May 3, 2006
The Zairean model of healthcare as pioneered by Marshal Mobutu Sese Seko is gradually being adopted in Britain – or so argues Theodore Dalrymple. This model is a simple one – the rulers receive the best healthcare money can buy, the mass of the populace get an aspirin if they are lucky. In Britain, the mass of the populace will do rather better than that – after all Britain is a much richer country. Nevertheless, Theodore Dalrymple argues that the underlying principle will be the same – excellent healthcare for our rulers, a second tier system for the rest of us.
What model of health care provision should Britain adopt – assuming, of course, what now seems very likely, namely that it cannot think of one for itself? The Swiss, German, Dutch, French or American?
I think the model that the government would prefer is the Zairean, under the late and much-lamented (at least lamented by comparison with what came afterwards) Marshal Mobutu Sese Seko. That model was roughly as follows: when the Marshal had a toothache, he got in a Boeing 747 and flew to Paris;
when an ordinary Zairean fell ill with a life-threatening disease, he went
(if he still could) to a nurse in a clinic and got an aspirin,
if there was one. …-

Air force asks for early delivery of C-17s, Chinooks: sources
Canadian Press via Sun Media ^ | 2006-11-19 | Murray Brewster
OTTAWA (CP) – National Defence wants to jump the queue to get faster delivery of new helicopters and planes from Boeing Aircraft, and so has asked the Pentagon if it can butt in line ahead of the U.S. military. “It’s being given serious consideration,” a Defence Department source said, because the new aircraft would make the Canadian military more self-sufficient in Afghanistan. Like the Canadian Forces, the Pentagon is also expecting delivery of new C-17 Globemaster transports and CH-47 Chinook helicopters, both manufactured by the Chicago, Ill.-based Boeing Aircraft Corp. The Defence Department is confident enough the Americans will agree…
