Thing is though we are lucky we have the NHS. If we have an accident the ambulance comes and takes us to the hospital where we are treated. If we are sick we ring the doc and either go and see him or he comes out to our home. If we were in America we'd have to pay from what i've read they ask for your insurance details so then they can contact your insurance company to find out what level of cover. If i'm wrong then our american members will tell me and take karma from me. I'm sorry if i am wrong. It's just what i've read. Thing with the NHS is that people are living longer due to advances in medicine and also cures and treatment for illnesses that 40 years ago would have been fatal are now common place. How many cancer sufferers would have lived 40 years ago compared to how many survive now?
