UK NHS= Freeeeee

No offense but the US needs to fix up on the health care, i think its disgusting to make residents pay to be restored back to health. The economy depends on people being able to work, thus they should make it a priority to look after the population for free

If you look carefully at what I wrote you'll see that I wrote "free at the point of service". That's actually one of the 5 founding principles of the NHS - and what it means that you don't have to pay when you use the service - so if you turn up in the ER or at a doctor or the other service that you need you don't have to pay for it.

Sure, it's funded through taxes - but I pay less than most Americans - and that includes my healthcare. The nonsense that you hear from Fox "News" and the like about people paying twice as much tax and stuff like that is just a complete fabrication. About the only countries that pay as much as the US are some of the Scandinavian ones - where people pay 50% or so - but they have an awesome quality of life and their citizens don't complain.

Nikegirluk's point was naive and poorly made - but I would agree with the sentiment. I find it unbelievable that a modern and rich country doesn't provide somehting that is just essential for a civilised society.

maybe its just people want to keep the money they earn, and by giving people more Entitlement programs will the lazy individuals coming back and complaining that "the gov't doens't do this, i need this" its just an excuse to sit around and not work for something when you need something.

'naive and poorly made'

... How? I dont know how you concluded my opinion was naive out of 2 full sentences... My response could have lengthy, but who wants to babble about government policy on a saturday..!

Yeah NHS is funded thru tax, makes sense imo. Those who can afford to go private can, those who cant dont
