Germany has most people and biggest economy, but UK has most clout around the world. However the French are the biggest moaners, so I'm not sure.

Within the Public Sector / Health and Care / Health section of the ONS website, http://www.statistics.gov.uk/ , you'll find the best information that I could dredge up on the UK's state of play.\n\nThe Swiss equivalent, http://www.bfs.admin.ch/bfs/portal/en/index.html , is most likely to have their data; afraid I don't ahve time to comb it myself!\n\nHope that helps...

I have to agree that the investment is poor.  As an ex-pat Aussie living in the UK it is clear that the English don't show the same level of government support as we do.  I guess maybe it's because there is only so much money to go around, and the populace insist on maintaining an expensive health service, NHS dentists, and other traditional tax absorbers; and that in light of this someone running for office won't win votes by saying "I'm going to eliminate non-private dentistry and build a National Institute of Sport"

It's great in England.  So much better than America.\n\nBut we're full up, we're not taking any more of you in.\n\nStay where you are.

britain is going the way of most of euroope. The promise of social support and medical coverage is more than the government can handle.  Immigration fills jobs that others do not want.  But what people do not recognise is that the immigrants have plans to better themselves while too many people sit back and expect the government to take care of them.  Anyone that does not work at getting better will end up falling into the muck.  You make the future.  By getting more valuable to society the chance of success is increased. Do not blame others for your sitting still.

Well a democracy of course. But more specifically, Norway. There is not a huge  gap between the people at the top and those at the bottom. They take care of their own. Everyone has health coverage, and if someone has a condition that requires staying in a warm climate the  government picks up the bill. 26.2% of American children live below the poverty level. In Norway it is less than 4%. The difference between what CEOs earn and what the average worker earns is nowhere near what it is in the US. Taxes are higher, but people don't seem to mind the trade off.

I believe the latest statistical method is to take the median UK wage of 330 UKP per week (just over 17,100 UKP per annum), and if your weekly income is around 60 percent of that figure (maybe a little above), then you are classed as living in Poverty. But if your weekly income is only 40 percent of the median amount of 330 UKP/wk, you are classed as living in Deep Poverty.   It can therefore be seen that  UK Senior Citizens, if not in posession of a company pension, are all living at or around the Deep Poverty level  - hence the X million of your question.   What an indictment of the 4th richest country in the World that it can not pay a decent pension to its older citizens; (have a look at the current  retirement pensions paid in places  like Sweden and Germany to understand that comment).  Still, our MPs continue to vote themselves huge pay rises and magificent pension increases - so that's all right then....

Its due to a lunatic politically correct government who operate a free for all policy. Other countries in Europe have a benefit system which is contribution based meaning you only get benefits if you pay into the system...the UK system will give you anything you want unless you are a tax paying law abiding English man then you have to fend for yourself. There are queues of immigrants waiting to come to the UK from France. the UK government are so frightened of being accused of being called racist that the easiest way to get whatever you want is to belong to a minority group.....The government also allows you do do whatever you want to do in the UK as long as you pretend that you don't speak English. Normal rules that apply to your average English citizen don't apply to immigrants be they black white yellow or blue.

Why do you want to come to the U K? We're overcrowded already and it costs a fortune to pay Social Security benefits to all the illegals, asylum seekers and immigrants who won't work.
