Don't worry.. Scotland is cool, you will enjoy the landscape and the architectural masterpieces. The people don't speak English, you might have to learn another language.

Mind you, when you land, you will enter into a pact with the cold weather to take it easy on you. The cold is brutal!

America is a purely capitalist economy while U.K. is a socialist economy.Uk's NHS system as it is now is not sustainable and it's just a matter of time before it crumbles.Uk govt do not want to face reality and reform the system just like Australia.The NHS employees are bearing the brunt.Morale is so low,wages are so low and I don't want to dwell on vindictiveness on healthcare professionals especially on minority.

If you have a good job in US,your health insurance would be taken care of otherwise Medicare is there.

You describe the two countries perfectly. Because of the high cost of health cost in the us , it’s very customer driven, to the point that they want to make hospital like hotels. Unless your coming Nigeria , you may think that the nhs is the best but it’s not. The U.K. is also overpopulated which puts a burden on their system.

If you have a good job in US,your health insurance would be taken care of otherwise Medicare is there.

In any given population, what percentage of the people have what is considered a good job/health insurance?

And why do this group people not care about the rest?
Seems there's this "as long as I'm okay" sod the rest mentality!

Been hearing about NHS sustainability for a long time. Come what may the UK will never go they way of U.S system at most it will modify some with the Scandinavian countries

PS there's private healthcare in the UK as well if you want air conditioned ambulance and lavatory

Where does America stand globally? According to the World Health Organization, the following countries have the highest rates of obesity.

1. Republic of Nauru

Formerly known as Pleasant Island, this tiny island country in the South Pacific only has a population of 9,300. The country has the highest rate of obesity in the world with 78.5 percent of the population categorized as such. Unsurprisingly, they also have the highest levels of type-2 diabetes in the world.

2. American Samoa

Another South Pacific island, Samoa is an unincorporated territory of the U.S. With a population of 55,519, according to the latest U.S. census, 74.6 percent of its citizens are obese.

3. Tokelau

Yet another South Pacific Island, Tokelau is a New Zealand territory with less than 2,000 inhabitants. It's the fourth least populace country in the world, but 63.4 percent of the population is obese.

4. Tonga

Fourth on our list is yet another island in the southern Pacific Ocean. Tonga is a sovereign state in Polynesia that gained its independence from the British in 1970. They are the largest nation by population so far on the list with over 103,000, over half of which are obese-56 percent.

5. French Polynesia

Seventeen hundred miles away from Tonga is French Polynesia, comprising of around 130 islands, including Tahiti. French Polynesia is an overseas country of France, but the president of French Polynesia maintains position as head of government. They have a population of 268,000 and an obesity rate of 40.9 percent.

6. Republic of Kiribati

Number six on the list is another island nation, though this one is in the central Pacific Ocean and straddles the equator. With a population of 103,500, Kiribati has an obesity rate of 50.6 percent.

7. Saudi Arabia

Saudi Arabia is the first country on the list that is not an island. The world's largest oil exporter has a population of just under 30 million. Their obesity rate is 35.6 percent, meaning over 10 million Saudis are obese.

8. Panama

This Central American nation is home to 3.6 million, a world-famous canal and an obesity rate of 34.7 percent.

9. United States of America

Coming in at ninth place, America has an obesity rate of 33.9 percent, according to the WHO. The rate has been steady since 2005, but has grown exponentially since the late '90s, when the rate fluctuated between 16 and 20 percent. With a population of 313 million, the 33.9 percent rate translates into over 106 million obese Americans.

10. United Arab Emirates

Rounding out the top 10, the United Arab Emirates is a federation of seven emirates including Abu Dhabi and Dubai. The country has a population of five and half million and an obesity rate of 33.7 percent.

US is rated 35th in the world in terms of medical service and the UK 30th

I really don't know much about Nottingham at the moment, i haven't lived or visited that city though a friend will be moving there next month.

If you want to know anything specific then ask i will get the info from him.

I stay in Nottingham, it's quite a big city with alot of fun (if you're the jayejaye type). Its not too expensive to live here tho.
I've been here for just 11weeks sha.

Hmmm....who pays to sustain UK NHS? I want to believe it's the taxes which might be very high?

Either way, the US is way bigger in size and population than the UK...and both countries are dealing with different legislative governorship.

What might be easy to work in the UK might not be feasible to work in the States.

Tax payers and immigration pay for it.

I think the transport, rent and maybe food.
Like I said, I've just been here for 11weeks..
All these are based on the things I've seen/heard so far so I stand corrected

Bad mentality affecting us all

Babyvet:


yes people do get bankrupt, they file for bankruptcy but at least they alive to do so. But the truth of the matter ,government still pay a good portion of healthcare in the US. The problem with this universal health care is that not truly universal. If you have basic problem or generally health then it's fine, but if you have special condition then its horrible. That's why you see Canadians crossing into the border to get healthcare but less wait time and more specialized doctors. We a lot of specializations here , its not even funny that of the money being spent.

lol bros no vex, but where do you come up with these fictional stories ? Seriously.

Please I want to know is there an equivalent of IHS surcharge for the USA?
I am currently a student in The UK. As part of my visa application, I paid £200 per year as Health Surchage. Which allowed me access healthcare in the UK.
Is there an equivalent in the USA?
Please.

I’m not totally sure, I know some universities require health insurance and some offer insurance to the students.

Babyvet:

I didn't expect a reply with facts. Stop your mythical American exceptionalism with alternative facts. It's becoming embarrassing, seriously. The U.S healthcare system is ranked below UK, Canada's, and almost, if not every develop nations, with a lower life expectancy. Not to mention healthcare bills are the leading cause of bankruptcy, and that's those with insurance. These facts can easily be retrieved. How old are you ? You're grown; stop embarrassing yourself.

Good day everyone and happy weekend[b][/b]
Please I need your candid advice on this issue.
I'm a tier 2 applicant awaiting decision. I'm married with a son though my husband is not relocating with us. I will go alone and bring my child over when I'm fully settled.
My problem now is I got to know I was pregnant when I went for TB test. I had secondary infertility for about two years.
My questions now are
1. My recruitment agency is aware of the pregnancy through the TB test report, am I expected to inform my employer? If yes, how soon?
2. Does NHS cover childbirth cost and postnatal care?
3. I'm hoping to resume for work in the early weeks of September. I'm due to deliver around March next year. How soon can I invite my mum over?
4. How feasible is if for a woman to care for 2 children all alone in the UK? I'll be going to Coleraine in Northern Ireland

Thank you in anticipation as I await your prompt responses and guidance

Coleraine is a nice town. Small but nice.

Babyvet:


Nope , I meant that even the though the people have access to all that care , they are not the healthiest people in the world.

They may not be the healthiest in the world, but they still have a higher life expectancy than the US.
They must be doing something right then

Hello beautiful friends, ps I will like to know if conventry is a nice place to live and work in the UK.

If I file for my village I'd be igwe. You act like an ignorant child who knows nothing, so I will call you that.

Not a mother.

Not arguing with you. Arguing entails you disagreeing then responding to my points with evidence. You simply run like a child when facts is provided against your ignorant/fabricated statements.

What is the correlation between University placements vs Healthcare assistants?

Is this a trick question?

fatima04:


Even self pay patient pay as much as 6,000 to 7,000 dollars if not more. I remember the hospital I had my son in Texas asking for 800 dollars to perform circumcision and will pay doctor fees too which will be 200dollars.

I carry baby come do it naija sharpsharp.

Lol. I can't wait for the next trend of bashing Naija doctors

I'm definitely going to put this up...haha

Hi everyone.
Does anyone know if being pregnant can stand in the way of getting a job, especially when you're proper showing? I'm aware they're not meant to discriminate, but has anyone gone through this or know anyone who has? If yes, kindly advice. Thank you.

Lexusgs430:

Not at all. What I mean is that the place have a university and it av more opportunities there. Places that av universities av opportunities, that is what I mean . I am just seeking advice how conventry is and if there are more and well paid jobs as health care assistant. If houses are cheaper there, that is what I mean

They would surely stylishly discriminate.... Not unless you get a 0 hours contract job..... No work = No pay....

This your correlation I don't think has anything to do with job opportunities (I might be wrong).....

It's landlords that love university placements, so they can charge mega and consistent rents......

What would determine availability of work in conventry are, hospitals, nursing homes, residential homes etc etc

Not unless that JD has started playing tricks with my brain....

No one will give you a job when your pregnancy is clearly showing, except they are desperate.

Haha many thanks @lexusgs430
It's for a friend who is moving next month with her family who was hoping to get a job. Although she's just about 4 months gone and most likely not won't show until a few weeks after they arrive. Still not advisable to look for work?

Thank you @rubyventures
