It costs far less as a share of GDP and individual income (for those insured) than the system in the US.(\__/)

Originally posted by kentonio View PostIncidentally in the last month I was rushed by ambulance to hospital with a serious injury, treated including a night in hospital, had X-rays and followup tests, saw a GP twice, and will see several other doctors in the coming month.
It cost me exactly £0.00
An American friend is currently suffering dangerous medical symptoms. They are planning to go an see a doctor next time they get paid.
Yeah, we should certainly all follow Americas lead on healthcare.
My TOTAL out of pocket expense was $5.00. The PRIVATE COMPANY I worked for supplied this insurance to me and my entire family for $151.50 per month.
Maybe your "American Friend" should find a decent company to work for...oh wait! All the decent companies aren't able to do this for people anymore because of government regulations that are killing them!
Maybe we can get a system like yours and I can have two GPs instead of two Cardiologist next time I have a Heart attack!"I am sick and tired of people who say that if you debate and you disagree with this administration somehow you're not patriotic. We should stand up and say we are Americans and we have a right to debate and disagree with any administration." - Hillary Clinton, 2003

Mayb we can get a system like yours and I can have two GPs instead of two Cardiologist next time I have a Heart attack!
Seriously though, the whole point is that you had a decent job. So do I, but it wouldn't matter if I was unemployed, a senior citizen, a child or a middle aged person with serious pre-existing conditions, the whole thing would still have cost nothing. By offering decent affordable coverage only to those fortunate enough to gain it, you create a completely unequal society.

That $1500 per month could have been yours to spend how you wished... and the europeans don't pay much more in taxes than the US you get health care on top of what the state provides (which is more than the US in every way but military).
If we had a working health care system the US would be even more highly paid than the rest of the world...

I think you'll find that France, Switzerland, Germany, Belgium, Canada, UK etc have quite a lot of available quality healthcare.
