There are some things I don't really feel can be justified on the NHS. If something is unnecessary yet a person wants it in order to feel better about themselves (ie cosmetic surgery) is that or should that be available on the NHS when other people are going without life saving treatments?

Then there are drug addicts who can't pay for private treatment and if they get NHS treatment it stops them being a further burden so is that good or bad?

Of course we are probaby all selfish anyway and want treatment for ourselves and our loved ones. I know I am. We can't afford private treatment. Maybe when I'm older and my kids are grown up and married then I won't worry about myself so much or feel the need to be here for them. I suppose I'm the old wrinkley someone referred to as probably not being so deserving of treatment as a younger person like Cyfr who still has their whole life in front of them but I think more of being here for my children at present when they are only 12 and 15. They lost they're Dad when they were only 7 and 10.

Perhaps private health care will be easier for those who are able to take out medical insurance cover whilst still young and healthy but some of us are past it and if we already have ailments the medical insurance won't cover that. That will be OK so long as they pay out and don't go defunct like some private pension schemes have.
