Without a desire to dredge up this debate too much but... the wait time of a person with no insurance is pretty long, and going to the ER isn't free.
Eh? If you're on about the UK, then the entire thing is free. Well, bar stuff like plastic surgery and spray on hair pescriptions, so the average american would be no better off.:lol:
Oh, and Damion: I've driven exactly zero merecdes, but I've heard plenty about them and done minor repairs on a few e-classes. The all I've ever heard (from the cab company that runs them) is that The manuals are shite.
Also, nobody but daily mail readers have health insurance in the uk. The real people (The daily mail reader would call these proles) don't bother because it offers absolutely no advantage whatsoever. As soon as the NHS knows they can't treat you fast enough (for anything from an ingrown toenail to a weird rare form of flesh eating disease) they pay for you to go private anyway.
