There's a certain amount of choice in the British NHS. I could pick any G.P. within a certain distance from my home. Upon getting a referral to a dermatologist recently I was offered a choice of different hospitals or a local clinic.
And the waiting list argument makes little sense to me. How does how doctors are paid affect how many of them there are or how many people need to see them? (Other than perhaps the people without medical insurance deciding against bothering.)
