[QUOTE="wbvs58, post: 1658422, member: 16453"] Our system is a bit like Canada's from the sound of it. The so called "free" system is funded by a levy on taxpayers. When I go to the doctors I pay the bill and then get a rebate from the government back into my account for a portion of it which seems to get less and less all the time. Their is a safety net which when you exceed it in a calendar year you then get most of it back. I also have private cover so if I need hospital care like my knee replacement I can get it done when I choose through private specialists and hospitals without going onto big waiting lists in the public system. For emergency and urgent problems you do get prompt treatment in the public system. I don't really understand it all, I just go along and swipe my card when I need to go. Ken [/QUOTE]
