We need the "universal health care" to cope with our diabolical roads (I have replaced 6 front road springs on our two E class Mercs in the last 5 years!!). Besides where you grow up corrolates with your success at different branches of Motorsport:
So the Finns are very good at fast forest stage rallying; the french are good at tight tarmac rallying and the Brits are good at
rough tarmac rallying. You Americans are good at Nascar racing _

Don't even get me started on taxes.

Brits moan at everything especially the weather and the health service! However, when we got dragged into O'bama's (that famous black american irishman) US health reforms as a nation we are generally aghast at the concept that if you can't afford to pay when you are ill NO-ONE is going to look after you and you'll get dumped.
Our health service would be better if it were not for the overbearing bureaocracy, managerial incompetance and government fiddling. The concept is spot on.
Anyhow lets stay with motors shall we.
