Exactly.

National Health takes you on come what may. Private Insurance .................

I like the idea of heavy smokers, drinkers, very obese, etc. Paying more National Health Insurance. And that's what they do when they buy cigarettes, booze, but not food. Unless they insist on eating MacDees every day.

But it's got it's draw backs.

You would be covered under a National Health scheme and would of paid for it all your life and some who never really get sick would of helped pay for it as well.
