In the UK even as a foreigner on a visa I paid only £6.75 for a prescription. Any prescription. And that's because I made too much money to qualify for free prescriptions as the elderly, students and unemployed do.

So it makes sense for the Britons and the Canadians to be saying what they are saying, and for the American to keep believeing the hype of his home country.

We're not talking about helmet laws, and training systems any more. This is about political world view, not changed on a motorcycle message forum.

But why are we all so interested? The Troll is Dead, Long Live the Troll!
As a relative outside observer (being Asian), gotta say it never ceases to amaze me how the absence (or presence) of universal healthcare can so profoundly influence a culture's world view (or at least, a general opinion of safety laws).
