As a business owner my contribution was never capped. I agree it includes pensions for some, but not me as i opted out of government pensions and went into a private pension when the government announced it was running out of money, about 30 years ago.

As a self employed business owner i never got sick pay. My point is that most Americans and some other countries think we get free health Care. We dont!!! As a UK citizen i could travel back to the UK if i needed serious medical attention and that would then be free, but there is a waiting period of 6 months to re qualify in which time you could die
