This is hyperbole. Healthcare cost might be covered, but there are a lot more expenses with being sick. Social support and housing support in the UK is laughable. Good luck if you cant work because of disability. The hospital will keep you alive…and then discharge you to the street.
True … even here in Canada social systems are not as good as they could be … but imagine trying to access shitty social services AND PAYING FOR MEDICAL SERVICES… or worse being in over your head because of medical debt!
Met a homeless guy once who had had his jaw broken over some change. Even he was able to go to the hospital to get fixed up. It didn’t solve his myriad other problems but at least even he could get that taken care of.
Any system which would have turned him away should be burned to the ground and the people who built said system should have the flesh flayed from their bones, slowly.
… or … just take away all their money, wealth, connections, opportunities and not allow anyone to help them … then throw them on the street in Detroit and break their jaw.

Still better than America though.

I could be convinced of that. I still want flay a couple of them, though. People like Elon just need to be fucking erased, honestly.
But how is access to medical and mental health treatment and options for it? Is there a ton of variety?

Does UK have any social security disability or retirement other than what is relied upon by an employer? Just wondering.
