I wouldn't try to work in Germany not knowing German

2020-02-19 10:11:36 UTC  

Can we make white a slur plaese

2020-02-19 10:11:51 UTC  

let's only identify as pinkish or something

2020-02-19 10:15:28 UTC  

Tim Pools NHS video was quite painful to watch.... he kept saying, "but in the UK you only get one choice" ... as if we dont have private healthcare here and private hospitals and doctors

2020-02-19 10:22:39 UTC  

@JackH670 Yes Jess Phillips is something called actually intgrating with the local culture.

2020-02-19 10:23:11 UTC  

@wacka Does he know about BUPA?

2020-02-19 10:23:51 UTC  

he seemed to think we only have the public option... and NHS was mandatory

2020-02-19 10:29:15 UTC  

He isn't wrong Wacka, all the private organisations just bill the NHS for your treatment.
If they cut off your funding at an NHS level you wouldn't get anything private either

2020-02-19 10:29:55 UTC  

Paying for the NHS *is* mandatory, it's National insurance

2020-02-19 10:30:10 UTC  

they can only charge the NHS if its an NHS patient

2020-02-19 10:30:27 UTC  

Which everyone with a right to work in the UK is

2020-02-19 10:30:54 UTC  

and I dont mean the taxes are mandatory, I mean the choice of hospital organisation

2020-02-19 10:31:03 UTC  

It's geo locked

2020-02-19 10:31:14 UTC  

I mean by that logic the US has a mandatory healthcare option... 😛

2020-02-19 10:31:18 UTC  

You only get a choice if multiple catchment areas

2020-02-19 10:31:22 UTC  

Same as schools

2020-02-19 10:31:35 UTC  

Yes and no

2020-02-19 10:31:39 UTC  

and they pay a lot more for healthcare taxes than we do, per capita

2020-02-19 10:31:48 UTC  

It only covers OAPs really though

2020-02-19 10:32:25 UTC  

Yeah that's like saying muh wage gap though.
Technically correct. Factor in all data it's bollox

2020-02-19 10:33:14 UTC  

We pay the same, Americans pay based on their health level.

2020-02-19 10:33:32 UTC  

Also buying through a corporation jack's up the average cost

2020-02-19 10:33:43 UTC  

(through employer I mean)

2020-02-19 10:34:55 UTC  

As we all know, if the government makes a guarantee on something there is no incentive to lower prices/be competitive - see the broadband roll out in the UK for a prime example.

2020-02-19 10:35:45 UTC  

This is also why college is so expensive now in America - fed guarantees a lot of funding and loans are also guaranteed under certain diversity quotas

2020-02-19 10:36:09 UTC  

If you HAVE to pay me why would I cut costs

2020-02-19 10:36:23 UTC  

Aka the TV licence

2020-02-19 10:36:23 UTC  

per capita the US pays $8500 (probably more now) and we pay USD $3500 (probably more now) 2009 figures so adjust for inflation...

2020-02-19 10:36:47 UTC  

they pay more than double... and most people dont even have access to it

2020-02-19 10:36:50 UTC  

Cool more unvaried analysis of a multivaried priblem

2020-02-19 10:37:23 UTC  

Woman also make 77 cents on the dollar if I use that formula

2020-02-19 10:37:34 UTC  

Im only talking about their public healthcare

2020-02-19 10:37:40 UTC  

and our public healthcare

2020-02-19 10:38:04 UTC  

Which is a flawed analysis.
Apples and oranges my dude

2020-02-19 10:38:26 UTC  

they pay $3trn in taxes a year which goes to healthcare that most of them dont have access to

2020-02-19 10:38:38 UTC  

.

Totally separate note Wacka - we don't do contact work, only full time sorry mate

2020-02-19 10:38:58 UTC  

I think low income earners, OAPs and veterans get access

2020-02-19 10:39:03 UTC  

.

Yeah it's a broken system - everyone agreea

2020-02-19 10:39:22 UTC  

Nah, vets get a special hybrid

2020-02-19 10:39:46 UTC  

OAPs get an NHS like service.
Ultra poor have different options

2020-02-19 10:40:15 UTC  

The reason they complain about oap care is because it's like the NHS.
