Marriage is a religious issue. Get Big Government out of my private life!
Oh, and I spoke to a colleague from Finland this week, who told me what they did there, and it’s very interesting. You pay in regularly through taxes, and you can go either to public healthcare services, in which case it’s all covered, or you can go to private care, in which case the same amount of money is covered. So you have a choice, and you get the same amount of money in healthcare coverage either way. Furthermore, since most of the doctors work in both systems, it’s not a question of quality of care. They also have an ingenious approach to defraying costs: they have many nice hospitals with lots of empty space during non-peak periods. During those periods, they rent them to the private physicians. Slick, eh?
They also have a better approach to retirement - you get more money the later you retire, up to a point.
