America is a purely capitalist economy while U.K. is a socialist economy.Uk's NHS system as it is now is not sustainable and it's just a matter of time before it crumbles.Uk govt do not want to face reality and reform the system just like Australia.The NHS employees are bearing the brunt.Morale is so low,wages are so low and I don't want to dwell on vindictiveness on healthcare professionals especially on minority. If you have a good job in US,your health insurance would be taken care of otherwise Medicare is there. |

veleta: You describe the two countries perfectly. Because of the high cost of health cost in the us , it’s very customer driven, to the point that they want to make hospital like hotels. Unless your coming Nigeria , you may think that the nhs is the best but it’s not. The U.K. is also overpopulated which puts a burden on their system. |

If you have a good job in US,your health insurance would be taken care of otherwise Medicare is there. In any given population, what percentage of the people have what is considered a good job/health insurance? And why do this group people not care about the rest? Seems there's this "as long as I'm okay" sod the rest mentality! Been hearing about NHS sustainability for a long time. Come what may the UK will never go they way of U.S system at most it will modify some with the Scandinavian countries PS there's private healthcare in the UK as well if you want air conditioned ambulance and lavatory 4 Likes |

justwise: I stay in Nottingham, it's quite a big city with alot of fun (if you're the jayejaye type). Its not too expensive to live here tho. I've been here for just 11weeks sha. |

justwise: Hmmm....who pays to sustain UK NHS? I want to believe it's the taxes which might be very high? Either way, the US is way bigger in size and population than the UK...and both countries are dealing with different legislative governorship. What might be easy to work in the UK might not be feasible to work in the States. |

Babyvet: Babyvyet: Please I want to know is there an equivalent of IHS surcharge for the USA? I am currently a student in The UK. As part of my visa application, I paid £200 per year as Health Surchage. Which allowed me access healthcare in the UK. Is there an equivalent in the USA? Please. |

Babyvet: I didn't expect a reply with facts. Stop your mythical American exceptionalism with alternative facts. It's becoming embarrassing, seriously. The U.S healthcare system is ranked below UK, Canada's, and almost, if not every develop nations, with a lower life expectancy. Not to mention healthcare bills are the leading cause of bankruptcy, and that's those with insurance. These facts can easily be retrieved. How old are you ? You're grown; stop embarrassing yourself. 6 Likes |

Babyvet: If I file for my village I'd be igwe. You act like an ignorant child who knows nothing, so I will call you that. Not a mother. Not arguing with you. Arguing entails you disagreeing then responding to my points with evidence. You simply run like a child when facts is provided against your ignorant/fabricated statements. 4 Likes |

Hi everyone. Does anyone know if being pregnant can stand in the way of getting a job, especially when you're proper showing? I'm aware they're not meant to discriminate, but has anyone gone through this or know anyone who has? If yes, kindly advice. Thank you. |
Re: Living In The Uk/life As A UK Immigrant by monchat(m): 2:19pm On Aug 15, 2018 |
Lexusgs430: Not at all. What I mean is that the place have a university and it av more opportunities there. Places that av universities av opportunities, that is what I mean . I am just seeking advice how conventry is and if there are more and well paid jobs as health care assistant. If houses are cheaper there, that is what I mean |
Re: Living In The Uk/life As A UK Immigrant by Lexusgs430: 2:43pm On Aug 15, 2018 |
beyondbasicsng: They would surely stylishly discriminate.... Not unless you get a 0 hours contract job..... No work = No pay.... |
Re: Living In The Uk/life As A UK Immigrant by Lexusgs430: 2:48pm On Aug 15, 2018 |
monchat: This your correlation I don't think has anything to do with job opportunities (I might be wrong)..... It's landlords that love university placements, so they can charge mega and consistent rents...... What would determine availability of work in conventry are, hospitals, nursing homes, residential homes etc etc Not unless that JD has started playing tricks with my brain.... |
Re: Living In The Uk/life As A UK Immigrant by Rubyventures: 3:12pm On Aug 15, 2018 |
beyondbasicsng: No one will give you a job when your pregnancy is clearly showing, except they are desperate. |
Re: Living In The Uk/life As A UK Immigrant by beyondbasicsng: 5:01pm On Aug 15, 2018 |
Haha many thanks @lexusgs430 It's for a friend who is moving next month with her family who was hoping to get a job. Although she's just about 4 months gone and most likely not won't show until a few weeks after they arrive. Still not advisable to look for work? |
