To have one's health and medication choices determined by a corporation who is for profit and was picked by your employer to be cost "effective" is not IMO the way to treat a nation's citizens. I fortunately have above "average" insurance, but it is not fair that we all do not have equal rights to health care in the US IMO.PipeTobaccohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17746884792061867611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17218624.post-28641711430771140652017-10-11T20:24:58.633+01:002017-10-11T20:24:58.633+01:00I'm happy to wait, Sharon.

But it provides a wonderful service in emergencies. there is plenty to complain about but really the staff do wonderful work. Our Tory government would like to see it privatised though so aren't rushing in to help.Liz Hindshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04646532093872561703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17218624.post-48249300062380477402017-10-11T18:24:24.633+01:002017-10-11T18:24:24.633+01:00OK!

No waiting around, for some unknown date.<br /><br />Ahhhh... I know why the delay! You have Social Medicine. Government-dominated healthcare systems. <b><i>"In order to realize some savings, the NHS is raising the threshold at which patients qualify for treatment and lengthening wait times for surgeries determined "non-lifesaving."</i></b> <i><b>Source</b></i><br /><br />Another one of those things, which *sound* good.
