What would you think of doing away with free NHS and introducing Health Insurance, it would mean more money in the public purse, and it means if you do get sick you have paid your health insurance so it will still be technically free.
For people who are become ill due to self inflicted reasons (smoking, obesity, drinking, wreck-less behaviour) and show no signs of changing their lifestyle their premiums will be slightly higher. This wouldn't affect terminal illness suffers who fall ill through no fault of their own.
Hard to explain, but we were discussing this in class today about how America run this type of situation and wondering if it would firstly work in their country and secondly if the people would support it.
Also, don't attack me its not my opinion just something I think is interesting and could be interesting to discuss.
