  • 100% and I’m sure you know this too but just to add to your point, I believe the US government spends more money per capita on healthcare than anywhere in Europe, so even under the “Why should I?” lens, the current approach costs individuals more because they have to pay for it in taxes and then also in insurance premiums, copay etc.

    It’s not just for the benefit of society as a whole, “you” as an individual would also be financially better off under a socialised system.












  • Definitely agree the UK wouldn’t get the same terms it had before but I think currency is probably something they could negotiate to keep.

    The UK was before and hypothetically would be again one of the biggest economies in the EU and the politicians know what the symbolism of giving up currency would mean to the British.

    I really just couldn’t see them letting that stand in the way.

    Having said all that, UK isn’t going to be trying to join the EU for a while yet, if ever.
