    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 


    It is clearly broken, even with 'insurance' which doesn't even cover the costs.

    "But if we have an NHS, they would tax us far more! its evil and the guvvment will rob us"
    Increase in tax amount (over-generous 10%): $170 (from 1700 average per month in US), $340 (Family) Insurance Premiums: $400 Single, $1114 (Family) [2009] (Current is apparently significantly higher)

    With this, you get all your costs covered except for prescription medication which you will receive at a discount price.

    Pretty much, paying the extra-tax would be cheaper unless you are earning over $4000 per month. When you start getting up into those higher figures, you can afford to pay more regardless.
