But then the more selfish elements would opt out and leave it to the rest of us. Same with funding the military, or the police, or environmental protection from voluntary subscription.
You seem to understand human nature much more than some others on here!
Comparison of UK and USA take home. ... The top rate of federal income tax is 35% in the USA, and they only start to pay that if they earn more than $398,100 in a year – compared with 40% tax in the UK if you earn more than £42,475 and 50% if you earn more than £150,000.

Lol, you can't even get that right, it's 40% over £50,000 and 45% over £150,000. Plus there are no state or local income taxes to add on to that.
Positives of the NHS
1) I pay less
2) live longer
3) Have no extra burden due to the unfortunate circumstances my Mrs finds herself in
4) Have no worries about the amount of care she may need in the future
5) The choice of using the NHS or any private alternative I choose (at a cost less than the US)
Can somebody now tell me the advantages we would have without the NHS?
What ARE you talking about exactly??? men with guns, clubs and bullhorns???? Have you started mixing up your threads by any chance??
Can someone opt out entirely of the NHS?
