It isn't a fair system but that's life - life isn't fair.
Another example of how unfair life is - some people who need medicines to stay alive get free prescriptions because their medical conditions are on a government list. My father needed numerous tablets but as his condition did not come under any of the headings he had to pay for everything. Why? If he'd stopped taking his tablets he'd have dropped dead.

Good point Willow, in my day if you were 'working classes' it was work as well or you do not go, no computers etc, just expensive fountain pen's hours of longhand essays, no cutting and pasting out of text books, candles when the electricity ran out. As Mc milllan said in the early 60s"You aint never had it so good" some backsides are cleaned easyer than others.
As for the tablets Willow my comisserations I have personal exprrience in this field, although I have had the very best of treatment when it was required and dealt with admirably.
