The UK is running efficiently and has being doing so for decades. GDP per capita is now higher than ever. From what I remember, we recently passed the Germans! This shows us that Free Universal Healthcare is indeed compatible with economical growth.

It's not health expenditure that will make or break a nation. The important thing is cheap access to resources. In our time: Oil, Gas etc. The European Union will do it right.

No worries. EU will be in control of the situation. Europe's future looks even brighter!

This is a new stat to me... what does it mean and should i be scared that ours is a negative nearly 700 times higher then the next country?

It's like trade deficit right?
