@robsellen having experienced insurance based and tax based health care, I know which works best for more people more of the time.
@robsellen over 60% of personal bankruptcies in the US are caused by medical issues.
@saturdaaaay I've been mad about Python for decades... :)
@robsellen There is no free lunch anywhere of course, but at least with NHS there's no worry about getting bankrupted if you're ill
@robsellen I trust insurance companies as much as I do banks. Greedy shysters the lot of them.
@robsellen on top of the insurance premiums, there are the co-pays too
@car4dave NOM! still leftovers are real good more often than not
@robsellen well of course. Insurers aren't in it for any other reason. It's their business of course.
@robsellen the US spends twice as much public money on healthcare w/o having a health service, that covers everyone
@robsellen which depends how what kind of premium you have...
@robsellen thing is, insurance companies are licenced bandits the world over. Premiums jacked up all the time, with more excuses NOT to pay
@saturdaaaay LOL, I have all of the flying circus here. 40 years old and still classic comedy.
Watching The Gathering Storm. Dramatization about Winston Churchill in WW2
@robsellen thing is, it is inefficient, because the insurance companies cream off a percentage as profit, before it's spent on any health
@robsellen for example, you might have to pay 20%...
@robsellen I agree with your comments re healthcare.
@car4dave yeah it was rather NOM
@MELMAVEN it was tasty
@gretchenpeters Buckingham is such a lovely old town in the Chilterns... I see you're in Maidstone tomorrow, my old stomping ground
Watching last evening's British Legion's Festival of Rememberance from The Royal Albert Hall
@embee it was indeed
@Donealready It's kinda losely based on some my own experiences growing up
@car4dave Roast Chicken, Cabbage, Carrots, Roasted potatoes. Quite a simple dish really.
NaNoWriMo Day #8 - 13512
I've done my #nanowrimo for today. Reached target anyway. I might be inspired to do some more later.
@Propellerhead1 never been in Panera. Good to know they have free wifi.
@Donealready I did some writing, and had an otherwise peaceful day
