    In the UK it would cost about the same, but that would be because he went by car and needed to pay for parking, parking charges at hospitals are getting ridiculous

      The provision of parking is expensive, so it used to be subsidized significantly. Many people go to the hospital by public transport. It wouldn’t be fair to them that there’d be less money available for healthcare services because the NHS is subsidizing parking.
