Americans are suffering from the detrimental effects of fear, often called 'stress'. But while there is the type of stress that results in exercise, there's another type which has no outlet, no possible action, puts up blood pressure and eventually gives kidney or other failure and kills a person. That type of stress, well, let me compare, and yes despite lack of sunlight and other drawbacks to living in England, the life expectancy is greater.
British NHS covers all medical and related costs, and other care as required, nursing home and such. My medical policy, what is covered and what isn't is listed in a huge brochure, and is available on line and in several languages, and I only refer to it if I need to, but then I have to ask the provider, and then they don't always get it right, and, as I've discovered, the insurance might refuse the cover a couple of years later and I'll get billed then. As with someone I know, they insurance covers the first 100,000 dollars and they other million is up to her.
Sorry, I didn't make it clear, my policy that fills a whole book, is for my healthcare plan here in the US. And I don't know exactly what it covers because I've never read it. And it changes every year. The British National Health Service covers everything medical. Ambulance, Primary care, hospital care, bed and treatment. Some tiny exceptions came in the form of prescription charges which are flat rate and not expensive and even those have generous exceptions. To sum up the NHS: you are covered. My plan over here in the US: don't ask me, ultimately you only know by whether the insurance co. pays it, and doesn't rescind the payment a year or two later.
True, but we won't have most of these wars. One thing that really didn't help at all was Elizabeth Warren. She claimed to be pro Medicare for all, then declared it to be more expensive than the worlds most expensive large medical 'system', the ad hoc system we have here costs twice as much as a proportion of GDP than the average of the healthcare systems of the advanced countries. It would save a lot of money but E Warren sank it to make Bernie Sanders look bad.
