Obamaisn - an unsustainable proposition

LONDON - Britain's universal health care system faces a multibillion pound deficit that could force the government to skimp on dentistry, fertility treatments, and cutting-edge drugs, a report said Wednesday.

The projected 15 billion pound ($24 billion) hole in the National Health Service's finances threatens cuts to the country's biggest employer and the cornerstone of the British welfare state.

The British government offers health care for free at the point of need, a service pioneered by the leftist Labour Party in 1948. In the six decades since, the health service has grown to employ about 1.5 million people. Its promise of universal medical care, from cradle to grave, is taken for granted by Britons to such an extent that politicians — even fiscal conservatives — are loathe to attack it.

The health service's budget is predicted to top 100 billion pounds ($163 billion) next year, the report said, and with government borrowing already at record highs Sikora said providing everyone with the highest standard of care was an unsustainable proposition.

If British free healthcare is going to cost $163 billion next year,

and their population is only 60,769,000,

how much do you figure free healthcare will cost per year in the U.S.,

in that our population is 306,637,958?

One TRILLION per year, ...... 2 TRILLION per year, ...... or MORE?
