Rural Idaho Stories: living without health insurance-Part 5

[MrCRM114]

I live in the UK.

We all pay about 11% of salary for the National Health Service, (you don't get a choice).

Forget the bullsh!t you may have heard about the NHS.

If you're sick, an ambulance will come and take you to hospital and you will get treatment.

I had a heart attack - ambulance took 10mins to arrive - attended by 3 doctors - clot busting drugs, intensive care - my own nurse for 12 hours, (she sat by my bed).

This all at 6 o'clock in the morning.

Total cost - £0.0p.

Health care reform will finally make it affordable for all americans to have health care insurance. If you have more kids you will pay more for insurance under this plan not like public schools where you pay the same property tax for one kid or 10 kids. I think you are from England which has a government owned health care system, the American plan passed by US Congress will be more like Switzerland. Regulate health care industry like utilities and provide subsidies for middle income folks.
