Just for clarification, the NHS budget in the UK for 2016/17 was £120 billion[0], which works out to be about £1800 per person. Seems like a pretty good deal, given that in the US, health insurance for an individual would be around double that [1].

$3500 a year in premiums. But that leaves out the ~$7000 deductible those plans come with.
IMO, That's too high for a family with kids.
