I don't think people are against the NHS, only politcians and rich people who would benefit from an insurance model, it's just that when you mention immigration, people become dumb and vote for you regardless of how your other policies will harm them.

It can't be proven that medical costs are the leading cause of bankruptcy in the USA so that's just a baseless accusation.

It's not baseless. Baseless would be me saying that aeroplanes are the leading cause of all ferret deaths. Admittedly, the issue isn't as black or white as I previously understood it to be, so I appreciate you making me go back and have another look.

I like this new attention to detail Parmy, and I look forward to seeing it in other threads...

It said 62.1 percent of all bankruptcies were because of medical bills. The researchers interviewed those who filed for bankruptcy between January and April 2007. It expanded medical causes to include:

Those who mortgaged a home to pay medical bills.
Those who had medical bills greater than $1,000.
People who lost at least two weeks of work due to illness.
Obviously up and down all the time but..seems accurate really. And makes sense, given the cost of being ill in the US

Diabetic people are buying insulin made for dogs because they can't afford the insulin prices that have been jacked up in recent times. Deaths related to insulin rationing are common. None of these things happen under the NHS.

They say in America that if you get cancer, start a gofundme because insurance companies will weasel out of paying and few people who aren't rich can afford the costs. Anyone that supports a party that would seek to endanger the NHS simply do not understand what it would be like to live without the NHS and think that it's a worthy sacrifice to get one over on anyone who isn't white and/or british.

So many gullible people. It's nothing more than a protest party and a PR exercise for Farage. If his party wins, he'll probably leave sharpish just like he did with the referendum because he's the best at ****ing up a country and then running away.

It's one issue that could lead to the deaths of a lot of people. It's the only real issue that ****ing matters but Farage's supporters are willing to overlook it because you know, immigration matters more than our health care.

Unfortunately the remain vote is very diluted between Lib Dems, the Greens and Change, he is going to do so well it hurts
