Hehehe, you probably don't know the system Roy, or maybe our system is unfair. I have recently had dealings with our patient services dept, regarding a lady from Pakistan whos husband was born here. She had been here for less than a week and had never lived in this country before, when she turned up for healthcare. Patient services reckoned that she will get away without paying because spouses get free care. If this is the case for somebody from Pakistan, but not the case for somebody from Russia, then our system is not fair to all is it?
