The NHS is chronically under-funded compared with other western European countries on a per-capita basis. It is one of the most efficient systems in the world in terms of £ in and outcomes out.
The underfunding is the cause of the inefficiencies that you have probably seen. It literally does not have enough staff, buildings, beds, mri machines etc to operate and is constantly fire-fighting.
Yes, it's a big employer, and? It provides health care to 70 million people, of course it is. Why do you think competition would improve things? the US spends more than 2x as much per capita.
UK/EEA businesses who are paying out in USD to a US-domiciled bank account will now incur a 1% fee, with a minimum fee of US$2.50.
My business does most of it's sales in USD and pays out to a US bank account, I don't understand this fee at all. Just because they can I guess? Stripe is really becoming the new PayPal. Will definitely be exploring options to move to Adyen or continue moving more customers over to Paddle as we've found Stripe to be increasingly frustrating to deal with.
Now we're looking at 3.25% + £0.20 for the card payment in the US, 0.5% for Billing to handle subscriptions, 1% to payout, 0.4% if you want invoices, 0.5% if you need to handle sales tax. Already at 5.65% + £0.20 - that's without any of the paid radar tools.
