Cyclone Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 You cannot get your breast done on the NHS by being depressed so thats out of the window. It's not whether you can or can't that's the issue though is it? It's the attitude that they'd even try to get it done by subterfuge! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rand Hobart Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 It is a bit galling isn't it. But keep in mind that by the Gov's own figures, more is left unclaimed than is fiddled in benefits and besides ten times as much is fiddled in tax evasion.

Yes, but it's still galling if you have to pay for something if your income is £1 over the threshold set by the government. Especially if you have paid for many years to get the extra £1.

chem1st Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 Some freebies for the so called 'benefit class' are necessary. However, the service should be free to all. Supposedly we have an NHS. Yet UK workers with ENGLISH nationality must pay for a prescription if they are ill. AND lose a days' pay, often pushing them below the poverty line and UK benefit levels for their personal circumstances. They might be due some £10 in benefits, but the procedure of claiming will take over 10 hours and involve a very many people on wages well above minimum. If your on the dole and ill, it makes sense for society to provide you with free care. You will work when recovered. If your working on a low wage and cannot afford care, your ******. Care should be free. Cut the administration with regards to prescription charges. Low wage workers are essentially a form of benefit class experiencing too much taxation. Cut taxes for the poor, provide basic medical care for all. A dying pensioner can be prescribed £30 000 per year worth of drugs via the parasitic pharmaceutical industry. A youth might be living in poverty on minimum wage due to high rents (propped up by the state for the rentier capitalist class), pulling £10k a year. How can anyones' life be valued as high as £30k per year when a working man's annual labour is but a 3rd! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a load of rubbish the unemployed get free medical care, so if they needed the same care as the pensioner and it cost £30,000 they would get it. If the youth on £10k has to pay rent and is below minimum wage then they would get benefits. When you have contributed to society for 50 years anyway you should certainly have more rights than someone who has paid in for maybe 2 or 3 years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
