BAH - you have now moved from making vague assertions about how you think things might work in theory to saying now that the NHS doesn't work well. Get over it ! It *does* work well ! 60 million ppl in the UK use it for their health care and we even have a life expectancy 2 years longer than US citizens ! Start considering instead why the US health care system doesn't work well and costs so much ! You're looking at imaginary problems btw. Graham

He, as I am, think it's important that kids learn how to work and earn money. It's good training for the time when they are supposed to do this. Instead you socialist types are trying to keep all adults in childhood with a nonentity, called govnerment, makes all the decisions of living and life style for you. This is anathema to a lot of people in the USA; however, this allergy appears to be getting cured rapidly. /BAH
