here in the UK, we have a free service for health care, which is good enough, but very poorly run. but we also have a private health care system in place where if you want better health service you can pay for it.
the private health care in the UK is *the* best. 5-star treatment etc and much better than what you would have in the us so im told. Any one person can expect to pay far less for private health care in the UK than they would for paying for health insurance in the US.
so what we have in place is the nhs for people who cant afford private health care (or even health insurance in the US) who can turn up and get treated for free, and we have private health care for those who would rather pay.
an american friend of mine has spent some time living here in the UK and said that she had to pay 500 dollars a month for health insurance! WTF!.
i cant believe some of the scare-mongering those stupid republicans are saying! sarah palin saying her mother would die if she was on nhs or stephen hawkin would be deemed not suitable for treatment etc. that is an outright insult on not only the UK, but an insult to each and every single american's intelligence.
the health system in the US is a very profitable business for insurance companies so there are dozens of lobbyists working for them to get Obama's plan revoked..
they dont care about the health of americans. just the dollah
