    £6bn in 8 years, so could come out as cost neutral, but I doubt anyone will report that as it's not sexy enough a story

    Health tourists cost UK taxpayers nearly £6billion in eight years
    What about sex tourists?

      Well you can take a cheap holiday to Blackpool and hang around the bars

      for the cost of a bacardi breezer you will probably get laid.

      But then you will need the NHS to clear up the rash.

        Blackpool and Vegas, the two places in the world you can pay for sex with chips
        Contracting is like plumbing. You're your own boss until you walk into someone's house and they tell you to take your shoes off.

            That's assuming Brexit stops anybody arriving from the EU.

              US spends, not US Govt. Massive massive difference

                Who other than the US government is spending money on US public healthcare?

                    You are ignorant.

                    Medicare, Medicaid and Veterans Health are examples.

                      it's only for elderly. I doubt it's that much as your chats showing per capita.
