Comments on: *If you visited England on a Visa, would health care still be free despite the fact that you don’t pay taxes?

I don’t know where these guys saying you will need to pay for everything comes from, but it sure as hell isn’t the country you’re asking about.

Emergency care is completely free to everyone, Visa and foreign passport included. If you are in an accident, you will be taken to a hospital, treated and looked after until such time as you can be discharged without so much as spending a penny.

If, however, you want any non emergency treatment, you will have to pay for it same as you do in the US.
You will, almost certainly, have to pay full costs for any dental treatment since finding a dentist who works within the NHS is about as rare as hens teeth.

UK size six is the same as US size zero, which unless you are naturally small and slim is a tad unhealthy. However, I’d say that most men in the UK, if pushed on the issue, will say that they’d prefer women sizes ten to fourteen UK. And you will always be able to find someone who thinks whatever size you are is perfect. My mate likes little skinny women, sizes six and eight for him. I like women with shape and a little padding.

one can get excellent medical care if taken ill in the UK.. Just go to the nearest hospital’s AE (their ER) and, yes, you will be billed for their services. However, if you have a health insurance plan in the States, it is likely that they will reimburse you – check with them. (My son is a physician in London and I know for a fact that the physicians and nurses are wonderful!) And, yes, there are orthodontists there, as well – you will be charged for their services also. As to their size scale, I do know that a 36 shoe is about a 5-1/2 or 6, and on up, and I believe their clothing sizes run a size larger than ours. Enjoy your trip – it’s marvelous there!

No, you have to pay for your health care yourself.

You pay for any cosmetic work, even teeth.

Small.

Men like all sizes everywhere. No different there.

What the hell?? Of course we have orthodontists! We have orthodontists, specialist teeth cleaning places, not to mention dentists offering more than usual treatment- you’re going too much on a stereotype. The way our teeth look are just as important to us as they are to you. That’s pretty insulting. We have whole TV shows dedicated to people making their teeth look nice, and showing surgery you can have to make them look perfect.

Your healthcare wouldn’t be free on a visa and no taxes. Sorry to break it to you – but it’s not even free for us that DO pay taxes. We have to pay for everything on top of taxes unless we get a serious illness like cancer.

Size UK 8 would be considered small. Men are just like YOUR men, they like all shapes and sizes. Some like skinny, some like slim, some like average and some prefer larger women.

We have less crime than you do in the USA – but it’s still hell of alot. The only places you really need to look out for are our counsel estates – areas of sub standard housing where chavs live xD
