[QUOTE="chrisy, post: 684574, member: 3193"] We have the National Health Service (NHS) it isn't really health insurance, we pay for it through our salary you have no choice if you are working, and those that are, are paying for those that don't work. It is a good service but it is abused like anything that is free, so to speak, it is also like a lottery it depends on the area you are in as to whether you get all the medication you need. Some areas don't give out certain medicines for Cancer and some wont give the blood test strips for taking blood mmol, for diabetic, I am lucky our Doctor and health care area give out everything, and being a diabetic I don't pay for any of my medication. My Husband pays enough out in his pay each month though. and so did I when I was working. Some times it seems a good thing and at others I'm not so sure. We also have a Private Health Insurance, as some illnesses take a bit of time on the NHS to get seen to, with the private care it is quicker and better care, nicer Hospitals. Although saying that a lot of the NHS Dr's are also the private ones. If you are of the poorer members of society, it is a good thing, that's what it was started for in the first place. [/QUOTE]
