We have something here in the UK called the National Health Service. It was a very good idea but over the last years it has begun to crumble so much that people are having to move over to private services to get anywhere. I have been told by my posh dentist that as a (12 year standing) NHS patient they were taking me off their oh so wonderful list. I also felt like I have to dress up when I go because of all the monied people hanging about in the waiting rooms. Not so long back Brits queued for 3 hours to get into an NHS practise newly opened in their area. I also felt that I was of no real interest to them anymore as the staff ran about serving others while I was kept waiting for ages. They were nice enough to give me a list of the charges I would now have to pay. Not many of us odd bods can scrape up the hundreds required for quite a few of the services provided. I imagine if I were an immigrant or on benefit watching soaps all day there’d be no problem. I am going to take out cover for future treatment if needed. Just stop treating me like scum please…
