The basic rate of income tax in the UK is 20%. National Insurance funds not just healthcare, but also the state pension. Yes, we cannot shop around for an enlightened doctor (but from what I read on here, it is not easy to find them even in the US) and the NHS has many faults, but at least I don't have to worry about the financial aspects of ill-health.
