      How exactly? Are you forgetting that insurance premiums exist?

        No, that’s paid for already through health insurance. Kind of like how your “free” is paid already through taxes. My pre-pay is just far less.

          Well that’s a great argument until you account for the fact that not only do you still have to pay taxes on top of paying for that healthcare, but the US still has one of the highest average costs of healthcare per person in the world, which means on average you get shit value on what you pay.

General community for news/discussion in the UK.

Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.

Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think “reputable news source” needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
