That quite simply is not true. We pay more for our oldies than for anyone else. It is understood that they will be the ones with the most need and that if all goes well we all get there. I think you are thinking about the oldies in the US who commit suicide because they don't want to take from what they hoped to leave for their children. Very sad.Did I say you get nothing......? The system gets worse and worse for you the older you get...you are a liability, and so you are not going to get the care you need....they take your money when you are young, deny treatment as you get older......
If you had looked further down you would have found this little bitThat you don't understand this is sad.......
The U.S. pays for your national defense...do you deny this?
The U.S. creates the medical miracles that you use...do you deny this?
Obamacare was nothing more than a way to destroy private healthcare in the U.S......so that we too could have crappy healthcare like Britain....
According to the report, the United Kingdom, which has a single-payer healthcare system, ranks first. In second place is Switzerland, which like the U.S. has a compulsory health insurance system—though Swiss health insurers are not allowed to make a profit off their basic insurance plans.
All countries come out with good medicines though sadly the US frequently will not let poorer countries buy them at a price they can afford - the old thing of you are only worth your wallet.
and of course you do not pay for our defense spending and if you did it would be because you were getting something out of it. We have some defence agreements but it is up to the UK Gov to give what it chooses. with regard to Nato the UK has been at 2% for several years. When you are up to some military things which you should not be more often than not I am sorry to say our military will be there helping you.
