Well that'd be me dead then, and I have a job. Sorry, doesn't appeal, and anyway we DO pay for ambulances - just, via our taxes, not via personal healthcare/one off payments. I know of good honest hardworking people in the States who have been saddled with up to a decade's grinding debt over a serious illness - their long-term plans destroyed, and the emotional and mental burden making each day a misery. No disrespect intended, but that system does not appeal to me or to the vast number of other people here in the UK.
