8 billion that's a lot of revenue to make
imagine if the profit from that was plowed back into the system.
imagine if it was non profit making and the salaries of the top brass were just good and not astronomical wages.
addy made a great point that they're taking money from us which doesn't actually supply healthcare and using it to fight the government so they can make even more money from us. some of these bastards even own the hospitals so they make even more cash. by paying themselves. something is wrong drastically wrong. it cant be totally free. those who work pay a pro rata on their earnings.
those who don't work or can't work have that payment subsidised to the point of not paying at all. i the uk everyone who works pays national health. part of this also goes towards a state pension. it's not a lot but it's something.
