Many say that the UK’s NHS provides cheaper health care. Not so, when waiting times are factored in:
When he eventually receives the surgery the official cost is $6,000 or $4,000 cheaper than the U.S. The socialists crow about the “cheaper” alternative. They completely ignore the lost wages. A four month wait would be around 17 weeks of lost wages. There is the one week recuperation period as well. The lost wages would amount to $10,800. The surgery was $6,000. The total, cost would be $16,800. That’s $5,600 more than in the U.S.
