The main issue, which is terrifying the British public and actually pushing people away from living in an independent Britain, is the fear of a trade deal with the USA. The reason for this is the fear that Trump sees our National Health Service as a juicy fruit that could be picked by US medical insurance companies. We love our NHS - it is literally one of the greatest things about Britain.
And why a great country like the USA can't see the attractiveness of a health service that is free at the point of delivery is beyond me.
I can walk into an emergency room with a broken arm and walk out a few hours later, having been x-rayed and put in a cast. If necessary, the hospitals will give me a bed for however long I need one. They will feed me, give me access to whatever help and advice I need if I have issues that need sorting outside hospital. The cost, zero. The staff are committed and caring, the experience 100% positive.
And yet, NO, you guys refuse to pay, in case your money goes to help someone else. I don't get it, are you not one country? All in it together?
What is the problem with paying taxes that will benefit the WHOLE of society?
the answer to that is very simple...it is called greed...the right wants to take what they can from the needy so the rich have that much more...........in this country it has turned into a "what can you do for me".....fuck everyone else.....and it is leading to our own destruction....but people really think we are to big to fall apart.....the right can just keep on taking until there is nothing left...and this is America it is the way things are done....health care and education are at least 2 things that should be everyone's right....but they rob money from education all the way down to school *******.....and then they have to have another country send in people to do the high tech jobs because our ******* are not educated..........India just asked to double the amount of workers sent in here to work.....and from a country that had NO education system until we went over and created one..built schools sent teachers all of that.....all the while state and local governments cut spending on education here so the rich won't have to pay more in taxes
and as for health care....our ******* companies charge outlandish prices here...yet the same ******* can be bought in Canada or mexico for a third of the price.....typical good example of corruption.....Bush passed into law stating that the Gov can not negotiate prices on ******* used for the military and etc..must pay what ******* companies want..........Hospitals now are all run like a corp and the share holders demand big bucks in return...unlike years ago when a hospital was just happy to break even..insurance companies making a killing off the public with no controls what so ever....all just greed!
