Are you a loser?
Didn't do too well at school?
Can't make it in the most dynamic economy in Europe?
No good with women?
Then VOTE UKIP! We'll make you whole again -

The UK actually has the cheapest system.
If you move to an insurance system you'll probably end up paying more.
The health insurance industry in countries with health insurance systems is pretty huge.
The fact that the UK already spends the least, means no politician other than ones that know they won't be elected, will be pushing for health insurance.
The Germans spend huge amounts of political time trying to reform their systems and have to fight the self interests of insurance companies and hospitals all operating as little profit centres trying to do as much treatment as they possibly can to screw the system.I'm alright JackComment
