I'm going to remind you of something you already know even when you say that: it's not free. If you live in the UK, they will be deducting a percentage of your salary to pay for health care, as it is done in all countries.
Calling it free healthcare is misleading. Another thing is that I agree more with a system like the UK NHS than with the US system.
I take your point. It's free at the point of service... but yes, agreed, everything has to be paid for through some form of taxation... roads, police, fire services... and medical services. But even if you have no employment or income, you still get healthcare provision. It's a right rather than a privilege.
i dont treat our UK public services as "free" like having sex on the first date.
yes at the point of "service" the sex is free.. but you did have to pay for the date to earn the right to pull pants down later
however UK public services dont charge if found that you didnt pay enough tax earlier
dont refuse care if found that you didnt pay/cant pay tax
(dont charge if you didnt go on a date first)-prostitution
{dont refuse sex if you didnt pamper woman}-golddigger
in short UK woman will still have sex with men even if the guy hasnt spent a penny on her
where as US woman will only put-out if the guy pays up in some way(pamper or pay)
yep. people out of work that have no income still get treated the same as an employed person..
.. there is no credit check/insurance check/tax check when being admitted to a hospital in the UK
americans dont seem to get the understanding of how the UK system works
