Wrong again ... but that's not unusual for a tory .... If you are in the US as a visitor and you have, say, a heart attack you will be taken to a hospital and treated. The money thing will be sorted out later. If you are sane, you will have purchased health insurance for your trip. If you didn't, they will send you a bill. Of course, by this time you are back in Blighty thumbing your nose at the bill ... the hospital would probably write it off, or make a deal for a nominal charge. If you get a job in the States, more than likely one of the benefits of the job would be health insurance.
By the way, if you are so down on the US health care system, why are you supporting a party that wants to use it as a model for health care in Britain
