For the benefit of all you Americans who hate socialized medicine, here is something to ponder.
In England, they pay 15% of their income into the national health care system. That is on top of the regular income tax of 15% up to the age of 60. From 60 on they pay nothing, and there is no age limit for whatever care they need, including hip replacements for 70 year olds.

Now, what the hell is wrong with that? Our system is based on greed and barbarism.
