Hi, people in the UK!

I just got a bill for $3,001.36, which is for one visit to the hospital. That amount is what I have to pay *after* insurance.

Vote the Tories out and protect your #NHS. The system in the US is the system they want for you. They want a profit-making health service because they'd own it and you'd be making them richer every time you go to the doctor.

And people in Scotland: in the long term Labour are not going to save the NHS. Vote #SNP. Make Scotland independent!

@bodhipaksa we're facing the same shit here in Germany, thanks to our wonderful health minister Lauterbach. How those people can still sleep at night is a mystery to me.
@christine_broesenhuber I'm so sorry to hear that. I suspect they sleep at night because they have no empathy for others, and care mainly about how much money they're stashing away in their personal accounts.
@bodhipaksa I hope it'll come to haunt them at some point.
