Yes, and now a government official gets to decide if your life is worth the $5,000 drug, not you.

 

 You can still go private.

 

Ahh, so the rich get better healthcare. How is that different then the US?

 

 Because the poor actually get healthcare. Apparently better healthcare than in the US (UK - 18, USA - 37).

 

You mean for the 18% that don't have insurance. For the other 82%, the US is better.

Just throwing my 2 cents in... and wondering aloud...

How many of the 18% choose not to have health care? Young people and such who would rather party than buy insurance for something they take for granted.

Also, I wonder if that is counting the Illegal Aliens in the country... *ponders the question*

Anyone who wants healthcare and isn't afraid of work can have healthcare.  Go work full time at mcdonalds if you need to.  They have great benefits.  The only people without health care are people who screwed up somewhere along the line.  I was in that category for a while, and yes it sucked.   But it was my own fault, just like everyone else in that category.
