so i guess it is cheaper not paying national insurance, and paying all these medical bills.

Re: Costs of medical care Oz vs UK or NZ
Can anyone give me typical costs I can expect to have at a dentist for things like a check-up, clean & polish, filling etc? Also is it cheaper for kids?
I had a filling fall out recently and for a basic (i.e. no cleaning) appointment & new filling it cost me over NZ$400 here. The same would have cost me £45.60 on the NHS.
