The average American has a 20% income tax rate, meaning out of the $52,000 a year that they make, they pay $10,400 in income taxes a year.
The average English person pays 20% in income taxes as well, meaning out of the $33,000 a year (converted to US dollars), they pay $6,600 in income taxes a year.
Averaging between individual and family insurance plans, and including healthcare costs, the average American spends $17,000 a year on healthcare/insurance.
The average English person pays roughly $1,500 a year for healthcare, which is paid for by general taxes and thus doesn't add to their 20% tax rate at all.
The average American thus has 32.2% of their income taken away from them to pay for healthcare/insurance, ON TOP OF the taxes that they're already paying.
The average English person has 4.5% of their income taken away form them to pay for healthcare.
My conclusion, public funded things are cheaper to the individual than private funded things.
