[QUOTE="AndyS, post: 1156199, member: 20775"] Me personally it would be out right data, some of which I assume probably exists from previous studies though since the artificial pancreas isn't really an in production reality at this stage. Of course it doesn't really count what would convince me (no convincing required) it is the policy makers in the NHS that would need the cold hard facts and obvious cost savings rammed down their throats. I accept your comparison of the two systems, admittedly I had never really considered it that way. But on the flip side with the UK system if you are critically ill or have a long chronic condition you don't have to worry about how you will pay your bills when you hit the upper limits of your insurance (yes I know there are different ones that maybe don't have that). So at least for us here we don't ever have the scary situation where we risk losing our home to pay for hospital bills. Interesting viewpoint you brought though ;) /A [/QUOTE]
