  • no one has the right to take from me and give to you

    get a job and pay your own way

  • @mcap52 I'm in the UK and we have the NHS. I'm so happy I can free birth control, I can see a doctor without worrying about a bill, I can go into hospital and get the treatment I want not what I can afford, I could have a baby and only worry about the cost of what it needs, not what it will cost me just having it. I can walk out a hospital bill free, get my eyes tested without paying (Scotland) and get my teeth checked free! It's brilliant. Oh, and go to college for free! Ah, I love my country.

  • @MrBrational A year?? Where do you live? I waited 10 days.

  • @AKIDPRODUCTION09 Trust me, it's not as good as you might think. I'm Canadian , and I had to wait a year to get an MRI done on my shoulder. When you have a socialist health system, everyone and their dog is waiting to see a doctor!

  • Yet another propaganda piece brought to you by the great Father of All Right Wing Propaganda Machines, the Heritage Foundation.

  • This is America, nobody should die because they can not afford the unbelievably high insurance cost, period.

  • @dmanagua AVERAGE UK income tax rates are about the same as the US, but it's hard to be sure because we are taxed in bands. Normally you have a personal allowance of about £10,000, then:

    20% tax on income up to £37,400 (~$60,000)

    40% tax on income between £37,401-£150,000 ($60-240,000)

    50% tax on income over £150,000 ($240,000)

    Then there's National Insurance, which is typcially about 11%, and council tax.

    VAT (or sales tax) is at 20% of certain products, but is part of the price.

  • @dmanagua Well I don't really know all of them. It comes out my pay automatically. So if I was paid £1044 a month I'd pay £84 in tax and £53 in National Insurance (That pays for things like welfare, state maternity pay and pensions) we pay 20% VAT on purchases as well but usually it's already added to the price.

  • @Charmedlassie18 Your taxes are how high?

  • We need a single payer system in the USA for health care. You think I'm a socialist for saying that? You've been PROGRAMMED to think that and I can PROVE it. Search the the Wendell Potter interview with Bill Moyers. He was one of the top people at CIGNA and he explains it all in detail. If you hate facts. If you hate truth. If you hate America.... be sure and avoid that video.
