The trouble with the UK is ,people want ," free" health care , free schooling, free support for heating bills ,free pensions, support in cash terms for everything. Along with no taxes
for them just everyone else. |
"Free" at the point of use (in healthcare) must be a preference over being bankrupted for healthcare (over 1.3 million US Citizens last year)?

Americans owe more than $225 billion in medical debt, according to data from KFF Health News and the American Bankruptcy Institute. Some 56 million Americans have significant health care debt, amounting to $17,750 per family. To finance their medical debt, about two-thirds have taken second mortgages on their homes. Another 20% have maxed out their credit cards, while 9% simply cannot pay their medical bills.
Many resort to filing for bankruptcy. Medical care debt is the leading cause of personal bankruptcy in the U.S. More than 65% of the 2 million personal bankruptcies filed annually are due to unpaid health care costs, the American Bankruptcy Institute reports, while nearly 60% of credit card collections are for medical debt.
