15. It's income tax day in the U.S. What do you enjoy the most that your tax dollars provide for society?

I'm in the UK, so my answer is the NHS. It's clunky, unwieldy, desperate for more nurses, doctors, and funding...but it provides healthcare for one and all. You might have to wait for appointments, not all treatments are covered, and not all doctors are worth seeing, but it's an amazing system that keeps on going. Long may it reign!

I think it might finally be in with a chance. After this ghastly situation, any MP who threatens it the way that the Tories have been these last ten years, will be out on their ear in a heartbeat. Watching the poor Americans struggle through all of this, with their warped and largely non-existent healthcare, is just heartbreaking.

I have no idea how Americans cope with their healthcare system at the best of times, let alone now!

Scary way to run a country, isn't it.

It must be so stressful to be ill there.

I hear tell of diabetics in debt up to their eyeballs just to get insulin. But helping each other is un-Christian according to the Republican Party! So co-funded health is right out.
