I suppose the backdrop to Mr Cameron's speech illustrates the problems he's had with his banana.<br />HELEN On the BBC last week I saw a tale about an uninsured casual American construction worker who has had a hernia for years - a bulging intestine escaping from his stomach cavity but he just cannot get it fixed because of the enormous bill that would follow. The doctor who examined him said that septis was just round the corner. So pleased to hear that Aussies have Medicare - something like the NHS.Yorkshire Puddinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06019673884543913089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-84733421861064019892012-02-23T08:55:17.008+00:002012-02-23T08:55:17.008+00:00Our version is called Medicare and while I'm a...Our version is called Medicare and while I'm all in favour of providing medical treatment for those who need it I think that those who can afford it should look after themselves through private medical insurance.( means testing elegibility would be a good start ).<br /> It infuriates me when wealthy, influential people jump the queue (when they can afford to pay for themselves) and thus increase the enormous waiting time for those who need so called non essentil surgery like hip replacements and have to wait years to get it because of the long queues.<br />I have no idea how people cope in the USA if they can't afford medical treatment. It seems almost inhuman to me to refuse to treat them.<br />CheersHelsiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15136273834165751276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-26471045939079549752012-02-22T13:17:58.640+00:002012-02-22T13:17:58.640+00:00Conservatives are not heartless wretches or comple...Conservatives are not heartless wretches or completely without compassion for the downtrodden, the hurting, and the broken. They just think that such issues are better handled by families, churches, charitable organizations, and local communities than by big government intrusion. They could, of course, be wrong.<br /><br />Your illustration prompts me to ask whether your NHS covers erectile dysfunction.rhymeswithplaguehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10870439618129001633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-14391836667342355532012-02-21T01:35:24.929+00:002012-02-21T01:35:24.929+00:00i have just come from rymsie with the plauge and s...i have just come from rymsie with the plauge and saw what he called you when you commented in the same style of your present blog><<><>i for the life of me wonder how i stand living by all these conservatives who want children's health insurance paid for by their parents and if that cannot be done then to hell with the kid<><>,.our orin hatch from utah is trying to repeal the so called obama care because it is free and he can afford the premium so why should he want the insurance for every one in the nation and he says nothing should be free to the massesPutzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08480109111920196513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-85391687540236587572012-02-20T23:43:46.194+00:002012-02-20T23:43:46.194+00:00John Key is doing the same here to our Health Serv...John Key is doing the same here to our Health Service, Accident Compensation Commission, Electricity, and other State Owned Assets. <br />He is also slowly but surely getting rid of the Department of Conservation (why have it when New Zealanders are so good at volunteering their time to look after the birds?). <br /><br />It's all scary.

Can you hear the cheering coming down the motorway from Leeds? You will hear it get louder in the morning as I draw nearer to you - I have to start work in Sheffield at 8am tomorrow - helping with an exam for future GPs.
