    Miles has fucked the system up so badly by having 6 Korean children with his 3rd wife ALONE! Fucking shill is a baby machine. Then he wants to talk overpopulation.

    You just can't make this stuff up.

    Well, that's the way it is Brock.

    I think the quality of health care here is as good as anywhere else, but it does kind of straddle a line between the UK and US model. You pay your national insurance which comes out of your wages and this is very good for cheap prescriptions and some types of surgery, but the more hi-tech surgeries are generally not covered by it as I found out recently. When it comes to health you only want the best and you want a procedure that will not leave you looking like a victim of a great white shark attack and that costs money, but thankfully I do have private insurance so cost does not matter to me. I've had this discussion a few times though with my wife wondering what people who don't have insurance or even the national insurance because of unemployment do. Apparently there are ways of getting your name on another family members national insurance, but really you cannot afford to be without private insurance. It is too risky not to. I find that I claim back a lot more than I put in, so it really it saves me money. I'm always in the hospital for something and I am back there today getting some surgery on my arm. It's the opposite for my wife who never gets sick. It's not expensive to cover yourself privately here though.

    What the ~fuck~ have you "gone" and done NOW, Miles??! Surgery on your arm? What happened? is this a sudden development or are you having a persistent situation remedied?

    It's an old thing I mentioned in the past, but it has been operated on at last. Nothing serious. I actually quite enjoyed this surgery as it was very simple. Even with national insurance it's another 135 pounds to pay. Then there was the 100 pounds for the previous weeks ultrasound. Then the original 14 pounds to see the doctor. It all adds up and this is just a very minor procedure. If you only have national insurance that's still a weeks wages for some. I am not grumbling though as I am very pleased with the quality of medical care out here. I've seen emergency rooms, had major surgery, minor surgery, seen it all; and saw first hand the excellent work people are doing. Walrus grumbles about the treatment of women, but nurses at the top hospitals earn really excellent money and they deserve it.

    Walrus has been a bit of a martini-drinking dipshit lately, but it doesnt stop him from talking up a storm on beef jerky and shit like that, "oh how dare you" and all that British "My word" shit.
