What has GM's ankle got to do with my highly serious post-thread about Putin releasing Great White sharks off the Dorset coast?

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.
Recently?  You didn't say. Why Canada?
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 ? |

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. |
