Ha ha. Its Ok. Its the UK National Health Service. Basically, its free health care.

I think that in the US etc you need health insurance (tied in with your job? not sure) and don't get free health care. I have read here in dismay that a couple of people won't go to the ER because they cannot afford it!

We are very lucky here and can be blasé about it. There are alot of people from other countries come here (legally or not) for the free healthcare system. This is clogging the system somewhat and the waiting lists for operations are very long, Im not sure how it works exactly, but there is a duty of care to treat everyone. Well, I hope that answers your wonderings!

BTW, how did you know... I have a Nintendo Wii !!!
