I don't know what we pay in the USA in taxes but I would like to see it all added up. I bet 50 cents of each dollar I earn goes to Uncle George and his war fund. Then I have to pay for my health insurance on top of all the taxes. My employeer kicks down for part of it so it is only running me about $200 a month plus co-payments.

I'm sorry to here you're so happy with it. The government is trying desperately to get rids of it by encouraging people to use their own doctors. If you ever need a specialist you'll realize how flawed it is. After a year of waiting you probably won't need that specialist anymore because the injury will no longer be fixable. Also, how much do you pay for gas? Did you know your government pays about the same as ours? You pay five times as much because of your health care taxees. I think I read in the UK like 3/4 of all income goes to taxes.
