US needs UK style HEALTHCARE, must see!

You Americans are being lied to over healthcare and you need to reform the system and make everything free like we do in the UK. Until you do, you are no better than a third world country where only people with loads of cash get taken care of. You let your poor and weak die alone and afraid. You need to think that one day if your luck changes this will be you. It neednt be this way. For a few dollars each month you can have a nice system like we have and yes thats like as little as $10 a month! Get real, get off your arses and force the government to acept a change that will make the USA a first world country not a third world country!

is college free and what about gay rights

[truthseekers666]

@dabeaner12345 I agree gay people in college should have free NHS!?! ;-)

Healthcare for the US: $6000 per capita. Healthcare for UK: $2500. How can you argue that the US 's is an efficient system?

[truthseekers666]

@nowthatsinteresting1 Good point.

As much as prove that the European system is better, I think the Americans will never prefer It. There is too much individualism, and what is worse: a terrible fear of anything that resembles socialism.

@truthseekers666 - I think he might have read about cancer patients who opt for private treatment rather then NHS treatment who loose entitlement to future NHS funded cancer healthcare which is true but I don't think it applies to all treatments like hip replacements.

@wind4watts, a tiny, tiny % of procedures is as serious as a heart operation, and in those cases most rich people will also need either Government or private insurance companies to help.

The tax incentives can be given to encourage a more cash based system. Where admin costs are very low.

And if once in a blue moon you break your arm and need 400-500 pounds to cover expenses - do you really need the Government to tax you thousands of pounds every year to pay for it?

@LibertyDownUnder Many folk do go Private Bupa etc if they choose to, especially Businessmen (my Employer is having a wrist operation in a Week or so) but for most facing £90,000 for a Heart Operation or Life long diabetes treatment isn't affordable or realistic, Working Ordinary folk in US just have to 'chance it' Spoke to Chicago guy about this..

@wind4watts, I'm not advocating you guys ditch the NHS. I'm saying you stop encouraging the entire country to depend on it.

It makes no sense for a guy earning 100 grand a year to stand in a queue and burden the public system.

If you simply give tax incentives for people who can afford private health to get care outside the NHS - you would have much shorter queues, and more services available.

ABSOLUTELY USA system stinks, I have spoke to folk who have said this, it dumps Patients outside Hospitals to die if they find they don't have Insurance. I owe my Daughter Life to our NHS she was in Hospital twice for around 15 Days, tests 24 hour care, Tests Medication didn't cost us one Penny-Dollar, I was very ill aswell but they treated me so quickly I haven't had trouble since, US Poor people get little-no treatment so get worse.BUT THEY GIVE ISRAEL $15 Billion a Year to Murder??

@dabeaner12345 in the US gays have more rights than anyone else
