I believe that to be the case in UK too ? Those employed pay taxes which are in turn used to support the NHS (taxpayer funded) so theoretically the NHS isn't "free" it is subsidised by the working man & Woman. Yes I pay several times over while I work, but should I be unfortunate enough to lose my employment I can rest assured I will receive the same standard of treatment (without having to put my hand in my pocket) as I would've when employed.
as i said most countries not all ie usa
