You cannot say it's free. It's paid for a different way and without insurance companies, drug companies and hospitals more interested in the bottom line getting a huge slice of the cake. The US is the most expensive place, I have visited, for health care. You're getting ripped off and some of you seem to like it that way.

Your population is healthy, you have a better workforce. You treat people earlier and prevent future serious illness you save long term. Universal healthcare is not only something all governments should provide, but is also a wise investment in your people.

Being a business owner I tend to adopt more conservative stances on things, but I also see the need for government run education, protection, basic services and also ... healthcare. Its a no brainer.
Great post, the only flaw is you don't end up with companies making billions of pounds out of those forced to pay.
