Universal Free Health Care (.......nanny and laundry)

No  health system is free of problems, but at least no one is bankrupted
in 
the UK  through paying for medical treatment.

This is not true. The drag  of the 50-60% tax necessary to pay for the
"FREE" health care causes poor economic growth leading to worse overall
conditions. For example the per capita GDP in the UK is $12,000 less
than the US (2006 number —$31,800 v. $44,000) and the unemployment
rate is higher (5.5% v. 4.8%).

The costs of a "free" system are hidden. I understand the human desire
to get something for nothing but continue to marvel at the ability to
believe it can happen. There is no free. TANSTAAFL.
