No, the system you describe is chillingly brutal and callous. It is your system that is done at the point of a gun, not mine.

  I don't think one could conceive a metaphor more archetypal of the US than "done at the point of a gun" -- but what do you mean by that, in terms of the UK health system?

    "Done at the point of a gun" means that you're being forced to do it. If you say "no," they take what they want anyway, and lock you up.

      Doing what? Being forced to pay taxes? That happens in every country and is surely a more general complaint, if it is indeed one at all.

        Don't bother, libertarianism is like a religion to these people.
