I am 
Or I would like to be as comunism doesnt work
next best thing really I think.
Zurf, I can talk for all the UK and Southern Ireland
whether they like it or not.
Folk with or without families that get NHS care still spend their last few days/hours etc in pain due to costs.
Because NHS is free care it is not always the best care. There has been a lot of documented cases where the NHS have said no to certain drugs because of the cost.
So really they are saying their life is not wirht as much as money.
I can see their point too though. Lots of folk want the expensive drugs to prolong their life for a few more months or years but in the end they will go and they money could be used elsewhere.
In my opinion ( and I speak for the world here, not just the UK and Ireland
)
If there was £500 left in the NHS fund I would rather it got spent on a child to be cured rather than someone over 50 prolonging their life for a few more months. But when you are in a situation like this you want it all.
Money should never come into it for health care no matter the illness, no matter how long it will last, but it does.
And i am on a ramble here, I just cannot stop my fingers going here.
I dont know how I would have coped if I had to pay for care if I were in the U.S. Would I have paid for minor things like getting cysts cuts out, getting my jaw fixed, dental care when I was in no pain, my nose job to breath better through it. Would I have went to the docs with a chest pain that went away ?
vasectomy is also free! I bet the catholic church hate that idea ,lol. But this also is a demonstration of wasted money. To go private it only costs about £150 ( so I am told) So what does a guy want? spend £150 on the snip or pay £100,000's on bringing up a child?
If someone doesnt want a child that much then £150 is a very small amount to pay to get knackered yet so many of these Ops get done free of charge.
I really think now we in the UK take this NHS far too much for granted. Apart from my jaw which I really needed done I dont think I would have bothered with anything else if I had to pay for it. I would even have paid for my jaw to be fixed.
