So the government is not quite telling the truth.
However it will make it harder for hoods to steal checkbooks when their id card doesn't match their fingerprints. No doubt the fingerprint machine will have handcuffs built in.

If you look at this data, you can see that the US government spends MORE than the British government on healthcare, right now. in actual taxpayers money. 45% of the 16% is 7.2% of GDP, while the britsh government pays 82% of the 8.4%= 6.9% of the GDP

And yet, somehow, the british have FREE, UNIVERSAL HEALTHCARE. infact, for you Americans, its cheaper than free, because you are already paying MORE, just to be uninsured. If you actually, on top of that want any actual healthcare, you have to pay an insurance company as well.

I just dont get you, here, why wouldnt you rather spend LESS money for BETTER healthcare?

How is this Britsh? Cause Hugh Laurie is? He's playing an American in an American tv show.

Watch him counter sue for kidnapping - I don't know about the Britsh but in the US he would have a case, he WOULD win and he would get get a large settlement!

I'd lay bets on it - (if I was a gambling man)!
