I recently broke my wrist while skateboarding, I'm 34 so that is my first mistake

I had two X-rays and anaesthetic and need my hand pulled out of my forearm and the bones manipulated back inline with eachother. I've got an appointment next week, if my bones have moved I'll need surgery to have my bones wired together

That is all free on the NHS, I did a little look in America what I've had done would of cost me $6-7000 if I had no insurance. If I need surgery it would be an extra $10,000+ more on top.

What's your views on American healthcare?

Is insurance cheaper than what I pay in taxes?

Do the insurance companies try to screw you out of care?

How much do the premium costs rise after having surgery or care?

I know Trump cut out the middleman on medication, how corrupt is the system with so many people making money in between the gaps?

I'm completely ignorant on American healthcare system but I personally like free healthcare, I know such leftie talk is not welcome here but I'm happy to hear your opinions.

Edit: I'm asking how the American system works, most people want to just talk about the NHS and it's failures which there is many. What are the pros and cons of American private as I have no idea about it
