Agnès, I praise you for your continued efforts to bring this out in terms that we can all understand, and for your continuous diaries on this topic, but I've got to say (microscopic dose of venemum in the cauda warning!) that when I see terms such as "transaction", "cash flow", "activity volume", "competition for patients" in the context of medical care, I get turned off from the text because it scares the hell out of me.

I mean to say by that a major bravo for your efforts but I don't have much to comment on here. All I could possibly say is that even cuba and sri lanka have an awesome free public health service, and they're cash-stripped like hell.
