Quote from: muddy on Yesterday at 11:53:20 PMSurely everyone must know that by now we can no longer rely on the state we have to take responsibility as best we can .

I'm afraid that is how things now are regarding the NHS.

It was a very good idea when it was first mooted.  The best in the world in many ways.
Unfortunately, partly due to lack of finances and partly due to oversubscription it is now failing.

I believe the only way to improve things is to do what the rest of Europe does and provide a healthcare system which relies on regular financial contributions from us, the patients.  It would result in more suitable financing of the system and, importantly, compel people to take more responsibility for themselves.

Of course, the ongoing problem of mass immigration must be considered.  As far as I know, those people who come here illegally still seem to qualify for the same levels of treatment regarding healthcare as the rest of us.

I wonder how other European countries' healthcare systems deal with the illegal immigrants who, I am sure, do not have to pay for healthcare insurance.

Maggie threw a party ... she was all of fifty four
She drank and danced til midnight, then fell down on the floor
She took out Jim, Peggy and Tom as she fell down with a plop
But Basil picked her up again and they continued to bop !

Well, paid for food and drink, OK, but I doubt it would stretch to a five-star restaurant dinner.
Loss of earnings?  I don't earn anything any more, so I suppose I wouldn't qualify.  No children to care for, and my dear wife can care for herself.

No.  Unless it's a juicy murder or rape, I'll pass, and I understand that some trials can drag on in perpetuity!

Yes they're the good ones, plenty of 'refreshers' ...

      

I feel like I'm in the middle of a Government warning ad    

We're getting a second Lidl, more Yum Yums to go round

Our M&S is to close... 

Absolutely agree.. 
We should, as adults, take care of our teeth the best we can.. 
Toothpaste can be cheap.. as is a toothbrush.. Cleaning between our teeth is important..
Parents should instil it into their children how important it is..

Lol
