The highest mean wage in any state for nurses in the US is $65,000 a year in California. So about £33k. I would suggest that if someone is driving a Lexus they are a fair bit above the mean...
must be the divorce settlement then

but still, 33k is much higher than here (although i take your point it's the US high watermark). but doctors are fucking minted over there, and i think paramedics and so on are much better off too (i think to be fair that the lady in question does a job that is not exactly analagous to your avg UK nurse. she's sort of more trained than a nurse, but not a doctor, if you know what i mean).

Oh aye, the average family health insurance bill in the US is over $10k a year as well.
really? it's crazy. i know you didn't like undercover economist, but i was tickled by the fact that the US govt still pays more per head into the US health system than the UK govt does into our, despite it being private and these vast figures you allude to. it's bananas.
