In 1988, I attended a workshop of healthcare service managers sponsored by the King’s Fund of London. Participants included such managers and the odd academic from the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. We were discussing resource allocation, and frustration mounted during the first 2 days. Ideologically, participants had divided into two teams — the US and the Rest.
