[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Statistically, I won’t need a hip replacement. That’s American pastime. You don’t like stairs or walking and there we have it.

Anyway, what are you arguing about?

London is amazing. [/quote]

Statistically, it’s the stairs and walking (and even more actual athletic endeavors) that leads you to have a hip replacement.  And old age.  If you live to a certain age and were even just a little bit active you’ll need to get joints replaced to maintain that level of activity.

The UK definitely gets in the way.  I’d hate to rely on the NHS for anything other than emergency care.

luckily you dont have to. the wonder of it is that [b]the NHS is there so no one has to die or suffer because they can't afford healthcare[/b], the mark of a civilized society, but you can also have private insurance. [/quote]

This is a liberal American’s fantasy.  The NHS sucks if you’re used to BCBS PPO or equivalent, or Medicare.  It’s more along the lines of Medicaid with forced provider participation.

also i lived in london for 30 years so it's not a liberal americans fantasy.[/quote]

Sounds like you are also unaware of what poor people and even working class people do for health care in the U.S.  Many liberals moan and gnash their teeth about poor people dying, but free and subsidized medical care (and insurance premiums) are our largest government expenditures.  And when they go into a hospital, they actually get world-class medical care.  But you are right, compared to the NHS, the social service and home care add-ons suck. - Someone who does health care finance and policy, and did a research stint with the NHS on preventive care[/quote]
