We have many not-so-prosperous neighbors to our South.

In the UK we have lots of people flocking from places such as east europe and asian countries and we still give them free health care....If your in the UK you get it free ..its that simple..

We also have programs such as a free new car if your disabled etc.

This is not a USA bashing reply as I like the USA ,but you are very very far behind in many welfare/social/healthcare issues compared to other countries....yes I know this will be a shock to you and many other americans..but the rest of the world is a little more advanced than some of you think!
