Agreed.

Quote:The NHS is where most tax payers have to go for their health care, things like cancer treatment, radio therapy, broken bones, heart problems, pregnancy.  Life of death things.  So all this straighter teeth talk is nonsense.
I think they'll cut back on straighter teeth before they cut back on cancer treatment..if they cut back at all.  Look, if the money well runs dry and you reach a point where the cash you're offering would be more helpful to yourselves than it is to them...then can get behind that, completely.  Something tells me you have a long way to fall before that's the case...judging by just that picture above.
I'm not offering the cash, the tax payers aren't offering the cash.  The money is being demanded by the government via the system of taxation which as I said before is normally where money is paid into a government to benefit those people who paid into it out of their earnings.
You still don't really get the situation I don't think because you're still talking about straighter teeth even though you seemingly agreed that it has no relevance to the real situation.  People in the UK aren't complaining about not being able to get their teeth straightened

They complain about less beds, longer waiting times, preventable deaths and basically less good care for patients.

I'm not saying read all of these links, you don't really need to read any if you don't want, they just echo what I'm saying but just in a more informed manner.  They go into further detail about treatment being denied and inadequate services.


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.
