Reply to comment by Helstrem in Julia Roberts reveals Martin Luther King Jr. and Coretta Scott King paid the hospital bill for her birth by CharlieDarwin2

Yeah, but that's misleading because most of those taxes come from employer companies paying it, not individual taxes.

That is 100% irrelevant. Do you think the NHS taxes are all from private citizens? The fact is our system is so fucked that even though more is paid per capita in taxes alone we have significantly worse outcomes. That is ignoring all the personal funds we pay after taxes, from whatever source, have already been paid.
