I'm curious to see how it stacks up against our NHS (at best, an over-stretched service).

Looking at my wage slips I currently pay £363 a month in compulsory contributions to the National Health Service which would cover all hospital expenses and gets me subsidised medication if required.

So, what does £363 (about USD$600) get you a month over there?

I should mention that in the UK, if you want to have private dental and private health you have to pay for these on top of the compulsory contributions.
