The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

My mother was from Scotland and I got the passport. But to be specific, I'm just assuming that if you have a visa to live in an EU country then you have access to buying private insurance. I could certainly be wrong about that.


I also have a UK passport but I don’t expect I would get public health insurance there. I suppose I could move there and then I might well be covered.

As for private insurance, it might well be that Canadian and UK and other European healthcare, their public systems having been designed with economy and affordability in mind, might have more affordable options available under private insurance - I don’t know.

If capitalism were allowed to work in healthcare, it really shouldn’t be very expensive to get the 90% of basic healthcare that provides 99% of the benefit, but that’s a very big ‘if’.
