NHS can't afford to pay it's doctors rockstar wages because it is arguably the most efficient healthcare system on the planet.

I can't see how "NHS can't afford to pay it's (sic) doctors rockstar wages" follows from "it is arguably the most efficient healthcare system on the planet". Why are these mutually exclusive?

Efficient in the sense that you get more bang for your buck healthcare wise in the UK than you would get from the US or any other country that follows the US model. NHS is already barely able to make ends meet right now and would basically flop as a system if it had to match US wages for doctors.

US healthcare in comparison to UK healthcare is bloated, costly and inefficient in the sense that a whole lot of money is spent with nothing to show of it (patients are not getting any better services).

Also is the use of 'sic' really necessary? I find it to be pretentious.
