Re: Suuure...
Well, now, my good fellow, I'm sure you're aware that other countries have PMs too, and as far as I know, Britain hasn't had a civil war in simply ages, so no, I'm not British, nor am I writing this from the UK.
And yes, just about every national healthcare system in the world is feeling the strain, exacerbated, of course, by all those altruistic companies who want to take it over, and the government officials that just so happen to have received some nice packages from said companies.
On the other hand, my sister is a world-class collector of various obscure diseases and disorders, and I've never heard of her having to pay for anything - neither treatment nor drugs.
I should also like to point out, to forestall any ideas about me being a public sector parasite, that I'm not a particularly leftist individual, have my own (admittedly small) business, and have no clients at all from the public sector. Oh, and I pay my taxes, excessive though they might be.
