[QUOTE="TorqPenderloin, post: 1332957, member: 211504"] Again, another very reasonable question. Obviously, it depends on what bracket your income places you in each country. I was actually curious about this myself so I used some of the income tax estimators. I'd pay about $36k (roughly 29kgbp) more in taxes if I lived in the UK than if I lived here in the USA. Now, I live in Texas where we don't have state or city income taxes. If I lived in New York city, I'd likely pay about the same (or possibly even more) in taxes than if I lived in the UK. Note: I think I may have offended some people with my previous post when I said that I believed I had access to the best healthcare in the world. I was only sharing my personal experiences and opinions in response to the original question. I certainly think that the NHS has qualities that the US can learn from, but to say one is truly "Better" on a macro-level would be unfair imo. They're completely different if you ask me. [/QUOTE]
