| 00:00.12 | perdenab | but yes, theoretically it is free universal health care |
| 00:00.18 | Marios_ | do you have insuarance or you are using NHS ? |
| 00:00.36 | perdenab | i have insurance, but emergency rooms are all NHS |
| 00:00.44 | Marios_ | I see |
| 00:01.00 | Marios_ | how much an insuarance cost a year? in average.. |
| 00:01.01 | perdenab | i once slept in a chair in an emergency room all night, in the best hospital in this area, dripping blood on the floor |
| 00:01.06 | Marios_ | here it is tooooooo much |
| 00:01.10 | perdenab | almost no one waiting, but almost no doctors either |
| 00:01.23 | Marios_ | I pay about $5000 a year for me and my wife |
| 00:01.36 | Marios_ | and it doesn't cover a lot |
| 00:01.40 | perdenab | i think a bit less than that for me... part of a group plan thru employer |
| 00:01.52 | Marios_ | I see |

| 00:07.07 | evangineer | Marios_, health insurance is often provided by your employer as part of the benefits package if you are working as a permanent staff member for a corporate. |

| 00:08.49 | Marios_ | I had one like that when I was working for the army |
| 00:09.05 | Marios_ | it wasn't covering a lot though |
| 00:10.29 | evangineer | uk health insurance probably covers more than what you would get in the us |
| 00:10.56 | Marios_ | well that one for the Army it as from Cyprus goverment |
