As you may well know,in the UK we have a NHS,
National Health Service,it cost nothing if you are a Pensioner, Unemployed,School age, or otherwise, it is paid for by the 30 million
People that go to work, through a NIC, National Insurance Contribution,
So all 70 Million of the Population, receive free Health Care,either at home or in Hospital, sure it has it's problems,but overall it works well,some people still wish to go for Private, that's OK, it's their money, and it doesn't bother them that they are paying for both, they can afford it, in fact it frees up more funds for those in need,I have never understood why the United States have never taken this on board.
