How much the UK's NHS services cost (even though they are given out free)
https://bit.ly/IIB-NHScosts
@infobeautiful I don't think there is a single UK NHS, rather 4 separate services for the 4 nations. From the logo, looks like this one is NHS England (where prescriptions are not free for many people, though cost less than £25)

@infobeautiful

In the USA, these costs are all one or two orders of magnitude larger. That has been my own experience, for me, ten years ago. I'm sure it may be more expensive now 🫠

@infobeautiful From the US, that’s less than what we pay AFTER insurance “covers” our fees.
@infobeautiful Add a few zeroes for any of that in the U.S. :-/
@infobeautiful and if Streebling’s sponsors get their way those costs will have to be covered by private health insurance.
The providers of said insurance will then, ironically, do their utmost not to authorise said treatments for the insured.
This will reduce spend on those costs whilst ensuring a good level of dividend for Streebling’s sponsors.
@infobeautiful ugh you should see my EOBs 😭
