> As I`m sure you`re aware, here (in the UK) we have the National Health Service which, although flawed in certain areas, is free to everyone. We also have private health companies (e.g. BUPA), but these are in addition to the NHS facilities. I do feel that we are lucky to have this system. I`m just interested to know how the US system works.
i'm curious about one thing... what percentage of people go private? .... it's not too expensive is it? i think i was seeing a "senior research fellow" and was paying about 45 quid a visit ...
is that not affordable? ... any idea how much .... income support? ... the government gives people suffering from mental illness?i think it's like ... DSS is rent + 55 quid a week ... and then... if you are disabled you can get another 50 quid a week, is that right?
