Just out of curiosity, as a Brit, how much did you pay for hospitalization insurance last year?
+fireamx, you make a good point. I travel to the U.K. 3 times a year, and I've compared notes with the guys there. The Brits do pay significantly more for petro, but at the end it all evens out when you take real estate taxes and medical car in consideration. Plus I also agree with you on the penalty statement. Also the cost of living there is also higher.
