The Business: The NHS and economic recovery

You've heard the Republican rhetoric and you've read the
British backlash on twitter
.

On this week's Business podcast, we discuss the economics of healthcare. Why are the Americans so opposed to adopt a system of socialised medicine? Does the NHS make economic sense? And how will the squeeze on public finances impact upon our most cherished of services? Larry Elliott and Ashley Seager give Aditya Chakrabortty their views.

Also in the podcast, from healthcare to recovery. We hear from correspondents Angelique Chrisafis in France and Justin McCurry in Japan about the end of those country's recessions. What lessons can we learn from their experience here in Britain?

As ever, you can post your comments on the blog below.
