[QUOTE="Mep, post: 1929202, member: 211362"] Yes, true... all different. Although we do pay a lot of tax.... plus we have medical costs we need to pay too. To my understanding the NHS is free and provided for from the taxpayer dollars. We have medicare here and various govt schemes which operate similar to NHS... the only thing is that we are paying for health costs and just have things subsidised if they're actually included on the subsidy lists (not always included). Eg. some of our tests are not subsidised so you pay for the full cost of the test. If I need an iron infusion, I pay for the iron and the infusion and haematologist myself. If I want some medical supplies, they're not all covered. Eg. I mentioned I need to pay $6000 annually for just one of my medical supplies. As you can see I have multiple conditions so not so cheap being sick. [/QUOTE]
