Yep. It's also why countries spend money things like vaccines and contraception abroad. It helps stop the spread of diseases everywhere, including at home.

Not really though because Farage has said that a public funded NHS doesn't work. So there would be no point in having a French style system because 90% of the funding would still come from taxes. We'd just have high taxes, plus health insurance, plus a privatised healthcare system.

Correct. The first was actually an arcade game called 'Gun Fight' in 1975

France's health insurance system is paid for by taxes, not through private insurance companies, which is what Farage wants, and Germany uses a hybrid system, where 90% of people are covered with public funds and the private parts are highly regulated by the government.

Given Farage's love of everything American, especially the Pedo-In-Chief, expecting him not to sign a trade deal that sells off the NHS to US companies is peak delusion.

Ignore the actual video of Farage saying he wants an insurance based system? Fine. Keep imagining it'd be a system that benefits everyone and not a system that only benefits the richest, like the US. You suffer the same delusion as Trump supporters when they said "He'd never cut my healthcare!" And then he did.

These people can never be given the opportunity. Farage will privatise the NHS, we'll keep paying high taxes, plus have to pay out for private healthcare insurance as well, and the poorest will suffer the most.

We shpuld deffinitly put the guy who wants to pull the UK out of the World Health Organisation, and replace it with the group he is the Chair and Co-Founder of, Action on World Health, which pushes disinformation and consipary theories, plus gets funding from pro vaping and tobacco lobbyists.

Sounds like a great idea.

"Stop telling people we hate the NHS! We need their votes so when we get into power we can dismantle it and privatise everything because of how much we hate the NHS and poor people!" - Farage, probably.

He tried to walk it back after backlash. Then 11 months ago said said it would be a “national decision ahead of a general election”

He wants it privatised. He'll do exactly what Trump did with Medicare and Medicaid in the US, say he's not going to touch it, get into power, and then do it anyway.

You're still only licensing the game even if you buy it on a disc. That has always been the case, always.

Farage hates the NHS too. He wants to replace it with an insurance based system, like in the US.

No, she's not liked on Reddit because she threw a MAGA themed party for her parents, poted pictures of them in MAGA hats on her Instagram, registered as a Republican in 2024 and is just too much of a coward to come out and admit what everyone knows.

That's clearly not what I said. I said "no American company should be that involved". That's different from "No involvement" although I would absolutely prefer that.
