    Oh ok, so I wonder why every doctor in the US has malpractice insurance?

    Whataboutism won't work, Tom.

    Not everything British is good.

    Tell the forum how much you pay in taxes to fund the creaking, barely-functioning "free" NHS.

    Actually nothing now as I no longer have to pay National Insurance. The NHS is free at the point of use, nobody sensible has ever said it is free. Here is a handy calculator, enjoy!

    OAP already?

    Your evasions won't wash with me, Tom.

    The NHS is largely funded from general taxation, with a small amount being contributed by National Insurance payments and from fees levied in accordance with recent changes in the Immigration Act 2014.

    Are you claiming to be exempt from VAT?

    We have no national socialized healthcare.

    I certainly didn't, but many have.

    The NHS is a deeply-flawed, expensive disaster, Tom.

    I live in Thailand!! National Insurance is primarily used to fund the state pension these days, with some left over for the NHS. The biggest problem is the NHS takes on too many responsibilities. It was never intended to do non medical elective surgeries like gender realignment and cosmetic surgery.

    No, you don't. You live in Yorkshire and travel back and forth to Thailand on a British passport, Tom.

    No I don't, I have an Irish passport and just renewed my one year visa. I've sold up in Sheffield, seemingly at the top of the market!

    Irish? You mean Northern Ireland, don't you, Tom?

    Amazing the NHS is so highly regarded by the people, eh? It's probably more popular than the Queen.

    Do you think that "Clap for our Carers" was whipped up by the NHS? A Dutch woman living in London started it on social media. The NHS had no part in it.
