Why I'll be voting to stay in Europe

Well those sound like extras, so that's fair enough, but if everyone went private for that stuff then the end result would be an impression that the NHS doesn't need as much funding. Use it or lose it, says I.

Looks like French socialists are much brighter and more pragmatic than their ideological Britsh counterparts.
Result, their health system is much superior. Notice how they use "for profit" companies

Nope they weren't extras apart from the dentist. At the dentist I paid for a more expensive material to be used.

The physio and tests just saved me time and having to have repeat appointments with the GP.

We also use for-profit companies, it's just less up-front. I think the way the NHS is funded has a lot to do with its problems. The murkiness of the NI contribution seems unnecessary.

You'd have to be careful about how you bring in private companies to avoid spiralling costs by profit-mongers, but I wouldn't be totally opposed as long as you kept them in a minority like the French do.

1. Brexit's only REAL effect will lead to lack of influence on Europe and a loss of standing and prestige for Britain in the world - as the US and China have made clear.
2. Brexit will lead to the break up of Britain as Scotland will want to join Europe.
3. The cost of Britain's net contribution to the EU is about 1% of total expenditure - i.e. negligible.
4. Britain's economy is not very strong being unbalanced towards financial services and weak in manufacturing. This imbalance will grow if we left the Euro and lost links to large Euro projects e.g. Airbus. It also makes no sense for Japanese and other foreign car firms to stay in the UK.
5. It doesn't seem as if EU immigration will stop. Both Switzerland and Norway have larger per capita EU immigration than Britain and they are outside the EU.
6. We'll still have to follow Euro rules in exchange for trade rights as Switzerland and Norway have had to do.

Just some socially insecure 11 plus failure who hangs around the CUK cretins to make himself feel better.

I'll assume that's a joke. But this is Cuk and you might just be as stupid as you seem
