How does the health insurance work in the UK?

kokotxa asked:


Is there a government health insurance for every employee in the UK? How much do you pay per year? Is it deducted from your paycheck?
Can you get additional health insurance? Are vision and dental usually included as a benefit from your employer?
I am moving to the UK and would like to know a bit more about what to expect. Thank you!
