Can't wait to get my check in the post when my shares are sold. All that tax I have paid over the years must add up to a considerable amount by now.
I'll treat myself to a private health care plan, I think, Beats getting euthanased by the NHS because I am no longer economically viable.

it has already happened in some cases, watch this report from UKCOLUMN from 33.22 proof of profits supplied

for a number of years now the NHS has been slowly degraded and is quickly becoming a source of basic/emergency care only for those who have no other option (ie the poor). I can see a time soon when people with no money will simply be left to die, just supplied with painkillers, unless they can stump up the cash for the "deluxe healthcare option", some may say we are almost there already.

At the moment, unless threat of death is imminent, patients can wait weeks for an xray and months for a scan - I believe you can jump these queues already by using private companies for body scans or of course a private hospital if you carry PMI. A taste of what's to come methinks . With all the cuts and the drain of PFI, plus privatisation of GP surgeries it will only get worse. How long before employees/employers have to enrol in a healthcare scheme like the USA if they require anything over and above emergency care?

This what was desired by the twisted amongst us: they would happily pay more than they would have done for the same service, provided that somebody is in agony and an' afford it.
