"The American "contact" systems are actually reasons to not require a signature or a PIN"

NICE is independent of the NHS and government. Certain procedures and medication is not made payable on the NHS because of extortionately high costs by the pharmaceutical companies.
Also if you want you can buy health insurance and be treated by private hospitals.

Some companies even subsidise or pay for it - my Mum's University offer the choice.
