Re: The future of the NHS

I will openly admit that I don't know all the ins and outs of how the NHS works but I don't understand how private companies who operate on a cost + profit basis could provide the same level of care...

Re: Cheaper in the UK?

Re: Cheaper in the UK?

Well I know that I didn't pay too much attention to how much I was paying in taxes when I first moved from UK to US, and that was 7 years ago now. I was wondering if there was anyone who had recently...

See the main reasons I want to live back in England are:

1. NHS - my boyfriend does not have the best of health and I'm scared of future issues.

2. I don't want to raise children in a bubble of...

Re: Talking your partner into coming back with you?
