The NHS was created to give medical services to the needy and money taken from our wages each week to cover these costs, the only trouble is now is that it is being abused, and badly.
There is adverts in hospitals, that if you can afford medical treatment, you will be charged for it, but there is no gurrantee that will be chased up, if you are part of the european union, then they are covered, which is WRONG.
My local hospital is swarming with people that have cut fingers, ****ed out of there brains, or having just a headache, what hospitals have to do is IF you can afford private treatment, then you should not be treated, unless you are having a cardiac arrest.
When l had a serious car accident, many years ago, l was sent an invoice, and it asked me if l have an NI number, if l had one the treatment was free.
Have you noticed that these items only up at festive times.
