Japan's National Health Insurance is based upon ones income. The more you make, the more you pay. As of now it is about $8000 USD a year, that is the cap. One does not pay more then that. Also 30% is what you pay of the bill. The private doctors here do not take "I'll pay you later doctor". Doesn't happen in Japan, no money, no treatment.
Good system actually. You don't want to pay, legally the hospitals can and will turn you away if your card is not valid.
Right now we pay about 125 dollars a month. By the way, there is no CRAZY 5000 dollar deductible before the insurance coverage kicks in.

you can't expect ambition-less government employees who work 32 hours a week and barely work when they to really understand how the market works and why right?

The politicians in the U.K. created/underfunded/mismanaged their system, didn't they?
Yes, under NWO instructions.
They need a British version of Trump to fix it for them.

Would still prefer our British system as it is now than US healthcare.

Very sad developments with the United Kingdom's NATIONAL HEALTH SERVICE..
Every hospital in the country has been ordered to cancel all non-urgent surgery until at least February in an unprecedented step by NHS officials. The instructions on Tuesday night - which will see result in around 50,000 operations being axed - followed claims by senior doctors that patients were being treated in “third world” conditions, as hospital chief executives warned of the worst winter crisis for three decades.

It's tragic that so many people will have to live in pain and distress for AT LEAST 30 days longer than they should. For those of you who have been sick or injured, just a few days of waiting seems like an eternity, doesn't it?
This melting-down of Britain's National Health Service should be an eye-opener for everyone in America who wants government run "Single-Payer" healthcare for all.
For a government run single-payer system to work here, it must be funded properly. Americans must be willing to endure significant tax increases.
And, decisions will need to be made on accessibility by people who are not U.S. citizens. Refugees and people in Britain Illegally, are granted free medical care in the National Health Service system. Needless to say, this adds a lot of additional cost.

Right now I can go to any doctor I want and pay for the services I need. In England you are screwed due to Government involvement. I love the freedom I have to choose who I want to see and get done what my doctor and I decide is best for me.

How bad would it have to get for you to admit that socialism doesn't work?

Purposefully defunded by successive governments due to pressure from vested interests, including members of govts themselves.
The spin here is BS as expected.
Whatever the politics, the decision to put off 50,000 surgeries is morally and medically WRONG. The President of Britain should intervene. It's not like Britain is flat broke.
