No we don’t, just the gas heater that still needs electricity to run.
This is very true. The NHS is fantastic in emergencies, for the most part they do a great job. But once you get into the realm of long term, quality of life issues and chronic conditions, the budget is now stretched so thin that the prevailing policy is ‘wait and see.’ got a back injury? Give it a month and see how it is.... etc etc
However if you are wealthy enough to be able to afford private medical insurance in the UK, things get a whole lot different, as you get access to a whole different quality of service, where essentially if you can afford it, you can get anything treated.
Another thing those preaching socialised medicine forget, is that part of our wages goes towards a National Insurance contribution, which helps fund the NHS and other welface services, so we aren’t getting it for free.
Do you know what percent the taxes that goes towards the National Health Care system?
Same thing here, people don’t seem to notice the things that are deducted from their wages even though it is printed on there paycheck. For the paycheck statement. And then when people get money back at the end of the year for federal taxes they think it’s a good thing. They don’t even look at how much they have paid in really. It is bizarre to me, being the numbers person.
Taxation and National Insurance contributions pay for almost all of the NHS funding, the rest is a small percentage paid for via prescription charges.
around 11% of spending is for health care apparently
It’s got to be a pretty high amount then. A high percentage I mean.
In Canada? So is the payroll tax for health insurance around 11%? Just wondering what to expect here, as socialized medicine might be around the corner. These Millennials don’t even understand what they are voting for.
These IDIOTS are all excited about raising the minimum wage THEN they don’t even realize it will all be taken away in taxes for healthcare that WILL BE WORTHLESS to everyone in the country because the demand will be far to high for healthcare to be accessible to the citizens of this country!!!
You tell them, girl!!!!!! :)
