[quote]When the election campaigns again it would be funny how they would do a spin. NHS is on it's knees, I hate how people say why don't you pay to have surgery again or treatment again. The thing is I have already have through National Insurance contributions. Not forgetting the lockdowns have made people a lot poorer and not everyone got the benefits they were entitled to.

I went to have surgery on my ankle in Canada at a very hefty cost.[/quote]

Recently?  :ohmy:  You didn't say. Why Canada?[/quote]

It was nearly 20 years ago. I needed surgery  due arthritis, NHS was a long waiting list and being younger than normal for the sort of surgery, I wasn't classed as urgent. After telling friends who were living in Canada, they suggested to me, that I stay with them and move there.

I had sponsorship, my own money and a job waiting.

So getting immigration was easy, I had surgery within a month of moving to Canada. But it was expensive moving and the operation was costly but not as expensive if I went private to a UK hospital.

I wonder if NHS are more worried about pronouns than patients 🤔 these days ?[/quote]

Paul	National Insurance Contributions do not pay for the NHS, directly at least. They're just another tax (like VAT and income tax) that helps to pay for all the government's expenditure - which is now, worryingly, much higher than the combined income.
