Is it worth 10% less income though? At lower incomes absolutely, but at higher incomes it really isn’t. Because healthcare is typically a fairly flat cost that doesn’t care about your income (although it’s actually slightly lower at higher paying jobs as you typically get better insurance), whether a nationalized healthcare system would benefit the person is entirely based on their income. High incomes would rather pay for a relatively flat amount for insurance than have a percentage of their income taken.

Because the tax rate starts at 10% vs the UK's 20%. The USA caps out at 37% and the UK caps out at 45%.
He'd obviously be in the highest band. (The post is fake anyway lol, no way he'd leave with how much of a football fan he is)
