And further, what is so bad about what you call “socialized medicine”? Here in the UK, part of my taxes go towards funding the NHS (National Health Service). In return, I get excellent cover at basically no direct cost to me at all. Same story in Israel (though basic cover is less inclusive there and it’s worth having an additional ‘gold’ plan for additional coverage, which costs maybe 100 NIS per month). Before I came to the UK I had heard horror stories about the NHS, but now that I am actually living here and have been to several hospitals for me and my wife both for a few things, I do not have any complaints at all.

I just don’t understand what you are all so worked up about…
