    Not everyone is lazy though, there might not be any jobs around that person or they may not be able to work due to medical reasons. They should still have a right to have healthcare?
    What I meant is that I think they have to contribute a small amount whereas before they just couldn't get any insurance at all. I personally think our NHS is great. All people seem to moan about paying until they need it themselves.

    I just really don't believe in the benefit system, I don't like the fact that my hard earned cash could go to help other people.

    We live in the UK yes. Moved from the US when I was 3. Private schools are actually rather popular.

    I bet this thread makes me incredibly unpopular as well, I sound quite obnoxious, but there is no problem voicing my opinion.

    There is nothing wrong with free education, health care and so on. It helps people and it makes this country quiet good compared to other countries around the world. Everyone in the UK can have an education, surely that is a good thing? Yes people may want to go private for education or health care but not everyone can afford such things.

    Just to add on: Our benefit system may have problems but benefits such as education and the health care system are not that bad.

    You're right, it does make you sound obnoxious. I think our NHS is great, not having to pay except for prescription medicine which is a set small fee. I don't agree with the benefit system but I do agree with the health system. I also attended a private school so my parents are pumping a considerable amount of money in to the government through income tax and sure it's annoying seeing it go to people on benefits but at the same time its going towards the NHS.

    The NHS is reeked with problems I would never go with them. You get the lowest quality care, because your just another number and statistic in the NHS, whereas private they need your business so they care for you. Which is why I prefer it. Why not put money towards plans to regenerate other things like Internet speeds for one, or trains etc.. Money is needed there more than a healthcare system which fails
