[QUOTE="mfog1, post: 629604, member: 126516"] Hi , I'm from Ireland , I'm only 5 months diagnosed with type 1 , over here health care is not free , I have my own insurance which costs me €1000 a year but our government have a scheme that's called "long term illness plan" where all medication is supplied free of charge and diabetes falls into this plan thank god. My insurance does not cover any medication , it's for piece of mind if I need to see a consultant it won't cost me a fortune and I won't be put on the many waiting list in this country. We pay high taxes here so it's only right that our medication is free , my chemist was telling me my monthly prescription costs €500. I could not afford that and there is not to many that could . If you are worried about loosing the NHS and hopefully it won't happen , a scheme like the one in Ireland might be worth lobbying for ?? Or just move to Ireland and enjoy the Guinness, it's does wonders for the BS [/QUOTE]
