What makes you think this is a relevant response? Everybody knows that the NHS is funded by taxes. This is not a secret, there's not some common misconception that health care isn't actually paid for with money. "Your fellow citizens [paid]" isn't the gotcha you seem to think it is.

Because the OP was claiming it cost "£0", when it clearly did not.

Maybe you should tell the OP, since he is clearly operating under that exact "misconception".

No you are just putting words in people's mouths. As an american, when I tell someone "I had to pay $400 to go get an ultrasound", nobody responds "ACKSHUALLY you paid $400 plus the $400 a month you pay for your premiums plus whatever funding comes from governments from your taxes". That point is only brought up to talk about how we actually pay a fuckload for healthcare even though it's a private industry and that's supposed to make it efficient or whatever.

Oh? So he didn't say "it cost £0"? I just made that up?

Spin harder, dude.
