If the pennies are so pinched that this aide comes at a cost of medical services currently being paid for...I can only assume that they would skimp on the least life thretening things they currently spend money on....and while that would be shitty..you'd still have it better than the refugees you'd be helping.
I do think they can do both. I don't think that everybody can. I think that people pitting health services against foreign aide are xenophobic fear mongering isolationists with a vested interest in that money -not- going to help refugees.
(unless, ofc, that's where they turn their profits)
Well your assumption seems to be oversimplified and wrong when looking at the evidence of what is happening.
The NHS still does provide teeth straightening for deformities, things like that. That service seems to still be provided while budget cuts are happening, and according to the articles in those links it seems that there are much more serious outcomes than just teeth straightening not being provided.
So while I'm not an expert at how the NHS works I would take a guess that all services are still provided, teeth straightening, cancer treatment, emergency ambulances, pain treatment. But how available, how fast, how efficient the general care is, seems to be according to the articles in the links, going downhill and blamed for causing deaths and the closing of hospitals and doctors surgeries.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
