    Take this as a warning, UK.

    Your NHS will get even fucking worse and cost three and a half times as much, and somehow a large portion of you stupid fucks are clamoring for US style private insurance rather than making the fucking Tories do their job.

      Unfortunately, in case you’re unfamiliar with UK politics, making life as miserable as possible is the whole government’s thing at the moment and the majority don’t support them. Please do not call us stupid fucks though, we are their victims, perhaps figure out how to send help, get us invaded, anything to get rid of them.

        Unfortunately, the majority of us are fucking stupid. We voted for Brexit…

        The other possibility is that the younger voters are even more stupid by not voting.

        Either way, politically stupid or stupid lazy.

              How could Brexit have gone better? Open borders, customs union, staying in the single market.

                You mean the Norway-plus model. Leave the table were the decisions are made, bud you do have to follow them. How is that better? Maybe less bad than what you got now, but definitely not better than staying.

                  Yes. I never claimed it was better than staying, I said right there “brexit was a bad idea but” - it was always going to be worse than staying but it didn’t need to be the unmitigated disaster that it was - that was the government’s fault.

      Only Denmark has a Beveridge funding model. Most of the places at the top of the chart have a social insurance model (Bismarck).

      Ultimately whatever the model, the UK has really low capital investment which is starting to show severely now.
