Answer to Question #131162 in Microeconomics for Tulika Sahay

Question

The National Health Service (NHS) in the UK was founded in 1948 and was the first state-run freehealth
service in the world. It originated at a time of national euphoria following victory in World War II,
which generated a sense of confidence and solidarity among politicians and public. In particular it was
felt that class distinctions were finally disappearing. The extensive rationing of products, both during
and after the war, played a big part. Not only did this result in queuing for goods by rich and poor alike,
but it gave the government a sense that state control of distribution was not only possible but in many
cases desirable. The basic objective was to provide all people with free medical, dental and nursing
care.
