Free Healthcare Being Cut In UK!

I guess they can't afford free healthcare.

First of all it's from the Daily Mail, secondly there's a new UK Government in town, namely a Conservative/Liberal alliance one with the Conservatives in the majority. Conservatives = Republicans so cutting government services is their mantra. Not so surprising. Maggie Thatcher (Conservative) famously once said "the NHS is safe in our hands" then proceeded to cut it up and underfund it in an attempt to make it unattractive in the hope people would go to private hospitals instead.

Cuts were planned before the election and the Daily Mail is a Labour publication.

Better check again on the Daily Mail:

I noticed that you did not assert that the cuts were planned after the coalition government was in. It was planned under Labour.

[federale86]

And there is no evidence on Wiki that it is Tory, it is a womans' newspaper.

Totally agree with federale86 Bingo

I checked my useless American plan and guess what - it doesn't cover those procedures either! So why the big shock fest?

[federale86]

Well, if it is useless, why are you paying for it? Of course, if you worked harder and got a better job, you would, quite rightly, have a better health insurance plan. Fat, lazy and s.tupid is not the way to advance in life. Shopping around for a better plan is also a good idea.

Because fedNUT is trying desperately hard to make a point about government-run healthcare being rationed and second class. As you've just pointed out, private health insurance doesn't do any better either! He's got his head so far up Rand Paul's arse, he can't see the wood for the trees. However he can see a log LOL

My plan costs me over $600/month. I have a professional career (I have 3 degrees) and my health care plan is plainly a scam. There are co pays, deductibles, non coverage items... and I got the best plan I could get through my employer in my State. Other people think I got a good deal.

Who is your provider f'86? Let me know - maybe I can get a better plan since yours is so good. Maybe your plan will give you the enema you so desperately need.

[Brit4064]

Not much point in giving him an enema dragonlady, they wouldn't know which hole to use LOL

Are you in a state that restricts the availability of plans? If so, then you are at fault for voting for socialist politicians who restrict the availability of healthcare plans.
