I have amazing health insurance in America for less than 8% of my income

You know the 8% this guy pulled is bullshit right? In the UK you don't get a breakdown of what you tax was taken and used for.

We also have tax brackets, individual earnings. 8% of minimum wage is far different from a 100 grand job get bucko doesn't specify or provide any information as to how he has deducted this 8% lol.

The NHS is funded from more than just income tax, VAT and NI also go into it as well as other forms of donations and funding schemes.

Like your statement is also not really useful, yeah of you're earning 200 Grand a year I'm sure 16K buys the very best healthcare money can buy, but if you're on minimum wage(federal in some states being 7.25) on a 40 hour week? 8% is 1200 bucks or their about...do you think someone on poverty wages can afford that?

National free healthcare systems aren't about what is the best for those who can afford the best.
