oh shit.. huge fire in knightsbridge london
litereally the most expensive place in the UK
costs around 1million for a 200sq ft room
100 firefighters trying to put it out
Then they should be able to pay for it.
Or that area will quickly become much cheaper to live in.
I doubt it... people will probably pay millions just for whatever rubble is left over
apparently the 5star hotel that caught fire has just had a multi million pound renovation
the insurance payout will be massive
So then it will fix itself before a month as gone by.
Unlike poor areas that will just remain burned.
as long as their insurance premiums are paid up

@Grenade123 You're from the US aren't you? I want to start a fight. I think the US should have a NHS. Fight me.
im also american
i think the argument for the united states having nhs would be better if the nhs didint have so many problems its been a joke for 20 years
How's the doctor shortage?
No one is going with out a Dr
It is a sign that a comunity has decided breaking a leg will not crush your life. Everyone has everyone elses back.
your news media seems to think otherwise
i really dont hear any storys of people breaking a leg here in the united states being the end of their lives
I'm not going to read the BBC and esp the guardian. The NHS is a stick to beat who ever is in power with.
truth be told, i haven't really heard of any good system. You have affordable, available, and quality. You can only have 2.
one of the main reasons shit costs so much over here is insurance companies inflating prices to something stupid
The broken leg thing is more of a metaphor. Having something happen to you that was not your fault should not put you in massive debt.
You have a profit based system and no other choice. What do you expect to happen.
almost everyone here has insurence
within the workforce atleast
they demand "discounts" for the people they send over. So the hospital lists the price at some random cost, charges the insurance company the real cost, then the insurance company uses the listed price to charge you, and the hospital charges the uninsured the list price
of course, if its life threatening, you don't have to pay, and a hospital cannot refuse you.
so you have a bunch of fat cats milking ppl when they are most in need. Pushing everyones insurance cost ups up.
are we talking about the government or insurance companies? oh, which the government all but forces people to use over here.
either its the insurance companies taking the money, or government officials raiding funds to give themselves raises.
Thats my point. The Gov should provide health care. You have one buyer and no middle man skimming off the top.
the government IS the middle man.
