Taxes and the government's budget, sentence 11
In the UK the NHS, the National Health Service, is paid for by taxes, so an X-ray and a cast cost £0 at the hospital even though they cost hundreds of pounds to provide; other countries have different systems.
Who acts: X ray, ray, other countries · What happens: pay, cost, provide, have · To what, where: UK, hospital, hundreds, different systems
