In NHS hospitals across the UK right now there are hundreds of patients who are in an ICU bed - critically ill with COVID
For which there will be no charge.

We pay for the NHS, which bit of that don’t you people understand, we pay for it wether we use it or not.

Jesus wept, can you imagine if we had to pay what it actually cost rather than what we do?

That's why the Tories want to privatise our health service. Think of all that money going to waste when it could be making a few people rich

Bloody hell, I knew it was expensive but this is insane. Is this WITH health insurance? I'm guessing it is otherwise they won't be treated will they? 🤷♀️ Anybody that knows about this please tell me as I am curious to know.

I am pretty certain I have recieved more care from the NHS than I have paid. These prices are astronomical. I don't even fully understand how it all works in America but seeing these bills is very scary. So many people not having treatment because they can't afford it 😕

Except this bill is for 2 months+ not just 2 weeks. This would be a non-insured person and would be before any discounting which is common.
There was a very legitimate survey done about 5 years ago were Americans were asked, higher taxes+free health or Insurance. Insurance won.
