Apologies, I should have phrased that question with a bit more care. I'm a strong supporter of the socialised health care system we have in the UK - its not perfect, but I think it is notable that the book by the founder of the UK NHS was called In Place of Fear - I personally don't want anyone to suffer the kind of fear that comes with the problems you have had, in fact I'd agree with Bevan that: "...no society can legitimately call itself civilised if a sick person is denied medical aid because of lack of means" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aneurin_Bevan https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aneurin_Bevan
