I'm proud of my free healthcare and wouldn't want an insurer deciding if they could afford an op' or whatever. It also should matter how much you earn, we are all equal. If you want that extra comfort you can still pay for it. And drugs here are £6.10 per perscription, no matter what it is. The UK's NHS may have problems at the moment, but hey, it's been around since 1948.
Free healthcare is the way forward and not a step back. Gogogo NHS!!
