If the US had healthcare like the UK their taxes would be higher - and
ill people would migrate towards it - to take advantage of the medical
facilities sponsored by healthy workers. Probably not an effect the
government wants to encourage.

lot more liberal with my slug medicine if I could be more certain it
would not poison me as well.
