Mister M Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Yes that's right, in America a suffering man was reuced to robbing a bank so that he could go to jail and get free medical treatment. I'm so glad we have an NHS in this country, where people aren't reduced to this extreme measure. If the health insurance companies in this country get their way, we might be reding about this sort of thing more frequently. http://uk.news.yahoo.com/man-robs-bank-for--1-.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mj.scuba Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 I'd rather get a tax reduction, pay for my own health insurance, in the knowledge I'll get good treatment at a good hospital which I could choose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chem1st Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 At £7.40 a prescription, there are some who cannot afford prescription drugs. Amoxicillin as an example. Cost price under £1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mj.scuba Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Wonderful! What about those who can't afford to pay? I'm sure the state will pick up the tab for the insurance contributions whilst somebody is on JSA or Incapacity Benefit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And im sure there are drugs that cost more than £7.40 but the prescription charge is still only £7.40 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greavsy Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 At £7.40 a prescription, there are some who cannot afford prescription drugs. Amoxicillin as an example. Cost price under £1. I had to have 4 different kinds of Antibiotics a couple of months ago and it cost me £30 in a day. I kept throwing the tablets back up and I only had 2 at the most out of each packet. Thankfully I got taken into hospital and sorted out but it was a complete waste of money! It's ridiculous that tablets cost so much! They should sell them at the price they make them or just make a slight profit on them if that's what matters to them. I feel sorry for the people who cannot afford medical treatment.
