If Brits are so generous, why do you need a government to take this money by force? The fact that the majority of your country is OK with this does not make moral something that is immoral.Robin Hood wrote: ↑May 17th, 2017, 2:05 am Anything but put your hand in your pocket.
What a lot of Americans fail to understand about our universal healthcare system is that we don't mind paying for it in the least.
It is paid for through a national insurance system and hardly anyone objects to paying it, even if we don't use it. After all, that is how insurance works.
Insurance is people voluntarily joining together to pool resources and share a burden. This gives people the freedom to opt out and decide how they want the product of their own labors allocated. When you bring the government in, with its legal authority to jail and kill, it's no longer insurance, it's taxation and forced wealth redistribution.
