Actually I've found that I only pay about 2% more in taxes here with national healthcare as opposed to without it in America. And obviously that's offset by the fact that I don't have a co-pay every time I go see the doctor. So I don't begrudge the money going to someone else; it's not very much money. What I begrudge is that I have to take a citizenship test to show my "britishness", but Kareem is allowed to bring in 4 wives, and my taxes pay for all of them. It's the principle of the matter. The principle being that the government allows something that is fundamentally the opposite of the norm in the western world.
