Most Americans are never going to know what health care is like in other countries.
In my previous post Natonal Health Care, My Personal Story. I talked about how health care happened to me and my family. Since that post, I’ve had a couple of people tell me “well when I went to London I cut my finger or smashed my hand and I got Excellent care'”.
What they don’t understand is that it’s not about the care.
Its about the COST and who’s controling the MONEY.
At 39% of GDP the United Kindom is one of the highest taxed countries in the world, in comparison USA is 28% of GDP, the problem is that the UK is financially in worse shape than the USA.
