And as for living under full socialism,you'll love it if your a fan of suffocation.The NHS is the only good thing to have come from the our brushes with socialism here in the UK,but you have to stack that up against the destruction of British industry at the hands of socialism/trade unionism, along with a multitude other annoyances,including their latest fetish for the gross surveillance of the private citizen.
I cant believe some of the comments in here,,,,,,,,rich people are going to do well in any system, there are plus and minus in the both the U.S. and U.K. healthcare system as well as people who abuse them. A great system would give the best healthcare to everybody making them live as long and as independ as possible, in addition to providing access to as many as possible. As I have stated before, there is no way to do that without everyone deciding to we want to take care of each out, or we can decide that some people don't deserve healthcare as long as we(I) have it. Part of my gym membership cost covers the daycare cost offered by the gym to other members with kids,,,,,,,should I quit, because I don't have kids, or stay and know it ultimately benefits the kids in my community, town, state,etc...?,,,,if I rather less abortions in my community, town, state,etc....I should stay.

I work in construction and i don't know of anybody in the industry that is self employed(and most are) that actually takes a formal lunchbreak,we all make do with grabbing a sandwich on the hoof.Once again Josetta exhibits her complete ignorance of life outside of her own nations borders,still that isn't something thats uncommon amongst Americans.Just out of curiosity, how long does a yank take to eat his lunch,bearing in mind that American meals are substantially larger than meals elsewhere in the world lol.
The percentage of overweight people in UK and Australia is now right up with Americans percentage wise. When fat was reduced in the diet, the average gycaemic index of the meal was increased, and this is the major reason people have gained weight all round the western world. Cut the g.i. of meals and weight falls.
A lot of tradesmen arrive in U.K. from other parts of the world, and they frequently comment on how little work UK builders get done each week. There seems to be a culture in London to spend very long lunch hours.
