Looks like UK is smarter than the USA. They require PROOF of health insurance before you come to their country so taxpayers won't be stuck with medical costs. Smart UK!
I was over there in March, first time since I'd lived in the UK 20-odd years ago. One of the first changes I noticed was, almost all the street crossings in London now have "LOOK RIGHT" or "LOOK LEFT" painted in large letters. Guess the price of patching up all the Americans who were used to "left-right-left" before crossing the street got to be rather expensive...
(I damn near got run over several times way back when thanks to not looking the right way...)
