People say the medical care is "free" but nothing is free. Wage earners have to pay that in the form of high taxes. Our taxes in the US are quite a bit lower. I'm fine with our system the way it is now. I've had good care with my issues.
Of course. In the UK I paid tax every month. Plus in the US if you have good insurance you are gtg. My gf pays $500 per month for her insurance which is in the low range so it's very expensive here (private care). Although it's also nice knowing in the UK if you are in a big accident and are in hospital for a long time you don't have to worry about money or insurance paying out etc. There are definitely pro's and con's for every system. Most people will probably prefer their own countries way as well because that's what they are used to. In both systems many also take advantage as well with some people simply being a constant drain (always taking and never giving back). Although the later is another thread in itself!
