True, all our dental care is free. My teeth are perfect.

NOTHING is free. You may not be paying a direct bill, but you are still

"_NHS is world's biggest employer after Indian rail and Chinese Army_"

..."A total of 1,282,900 people in England have jobs with the NHS: 2
per cent of the 30 million people of working age.

Only the Chinese Army and the Indian State Railways are believed to
employ more people — with 2.3 million and 1.5 million staff
respectively — but both workforces represent a far smaller proportion
of the national populations. "
