Also, we know our health care system is broken. When it shuts people out from getting life saving medications they need to just survive, due to price gouging, that alone should tell you things need to change. There's a lot more wrong with the system, including how much insurance companies get away with charging for insurance, so they can build beautiful golf courses, and insure hefty dividends for shareholders. Yup! We do need to fix it. Tax day has nothing to do with it. We pay for it every day, not just up until tax day.Here's the UK tax rates:                                                                         <table style='width: 100%'><tr><th>Band</th><th>Taxable income</th><th>Tax rate</th></tr><tr><th>Personal Allowance</th><td>Up to £12,570</td><td>0%</td></tr><tr><th>Basic rate</th><td>£12,571 to £50,270</td><td>20%</td></tr><tr><th>Higher rate</th><td>£50,271 to £150,000</td><td>40%</td></tr><tr><th>Additional rate</th><td>over £150,000</td><td>45%</td></tr></table>US Tax Rates<table style='width: 100%'><tr><th>Tax rate</th><th>Single</th><th>Head of household</th><th>Married filing jointly or qualifying widow</th><th>Married filing separately</th></tr></table> <table style='width: 100%'><tr><td>Source: IRS</td><td></td><td></td><td></td><td></td></tr><tr><td>10%</td><td>$0 to $9,950</td><td>$0 to $14,200</td><td>$0 to $19,900</td><td>$0 to $9,950</td></tr><tr><td>12%</td><td>$9,951 to $40,525</td><td>$14,201 to $54,200</td><td>$19,901 to $81,050</td><td>$9,951 to $40,525</td></tr><tr><td>22%</td><td>$40,526 to $86,375</td><td>$54,201 to $86,350</td><td>$81,051 to $172,750</td><td>$40,526 to $86,375</td></tr><tr><td>24%</td><td>$86,376 to $164,925</td><td>$86,351 to $164,900</td><td>$172,751 to $329,850</td><td>$86,376 to $164,925</td></tr><tr><td>32%</td><td>$164,926 to $209,425</td><td>$164,901 to $209,400</td><td>$329,851 to $418,850</td><td>$164,926 to $209,425</td></tr><tr><td>35%</td><td>$209,426 to $523,600</td><td>$209,401 to $523,600</td><td>$418,851  to $628,300</td><td>$209,426 to $314,150</td></tr><tr><td>37%</td><td>$523,600 or more</td><td>$523,600 or more</td><td>$628,300 or more</td><td>$314,151 or more</td></tr></table>As you go through, remember to add on all the extra money you pay for private insurance, deductibles, and all the other out of pocket expenses we have here in the US. In the end, we probably aren't that far apart.Now, as for quality of medical services, I'm not even going to touch that one, because I don't have a clue how that falls to be honest.</blockquote>
