thats correct sorry Ignitionnet try make the post easy to read but health makes it hard sometimes.
The problem I see is this who to say the partner which none british will ever be drain to government whatever the person earns.
Thats whats so proposporous of the changes.
Example said partner has accident this was so bad air ambulance fire service, paramedic doctors and police present at scene. Tell me how much that would cost taxpayer including if the injuries was really bad months in hospital. Before you say insurance what if insurance refused due to circumstances. I would suspect that would turn out to be quite abit cost. The only thing is partner took out private health but still some costs to government such the incident would have to be met.
So that partner has become a drain. This seems strange why they think they can be clairvoyant.
Nobody knows the future person could end up on the dole, person could be in accident.
So what will be next banning NHS to foreigners what about EX PATS who come back for NHS treatment or even send there Partners. Surely that should be denied.
Damien thats the issue some already in relations before the changes its so wrong the goalpost will be moved. My sister son in relationship although he plans to get out of this country live in hers. Dont blame him either.
Wonder how many if they had the oportunity and resources to get out would get out.

Thank you I got the info from another forum they referenced it gospel half the population.
Still 1 quarter is quite alot population on small wages. Like said questions whether the need to increase pay in these levels to help drive economy.
