also think about it if you didnt have the NHS, and couldn't afford private insurance, had no opportunity to ever own property or invest, or even save money. could not pay for your kids to go to collage, and can hardly afford to feed them when they hit their teens so they need to drop out to help the family. it beats drinking the pay check away by a long shot.
