See, that's the problem....we can't afford it. I can't afford to pay the premiums on the insurance so I don't have any. The social system isn't going to be any better, I guarantee it.

I know in Scandinavia they do have a socialistic democracy. The people are well taken care of. The people are fairly well off as a whole but they do pay high taxes for the government to take of their own. Americans are a bit too me, me, me for this to really work here. Maybe we just aren't evolved enough as a society.

Yes its so expensive there isnt it, my sister didnt have it in the US Mish and I really worried for her! (she has some basic cover now). People cant afford the premiums here either, I dont know anyone that has privte health insurance (apart from my Dad as he was an Executive at the company for 15+ years). And you cant get maternity care, or oncology treatment private here, so cancer truly is a great leveller.
Told bf about the sperm test.. he looked shocked, then said ok, I'll do it and smiled. Bless him!
Oh yeah, because men have such a difficult time with their part of the tests.....
There is no private maternity or oncology there? I guess I understand the oncology because it would seem that those with money have a better chance at life and those who don't are 'stuck' with the public care. But why no private maternity?

Good luck Ali, hope things work out for you, but just wanted to say you can get private maternity cover, although there are not too many private maternity hospitals (you can get a private room and other perks paid for) plus the same for oncology. Maybe some insurers don't offer these things as standard but it can be got. Private health care offers lots of different levels of care and costs vary accordingly.You just have to search around. I still think we have one of the best health care systems in the world, dispite its failings.
You dont want to know how much it costs to have a baby here!! IVF (you call it) just got covered by the State, we are a dying nation... Does he ever tell you no to anything? LOL! K
Hi Naej, ah so like most things then, you get what you pay for hey! Are you snowed in? We finally got snow in Cornwall yesterday!! Very pretty it is too and -3 today, which is the lowest since I moved here!
Hi K.. so it just got added?? Thats good then. I think you get one shot at it here then you have to pay.
Ha no I suppose he doesnt! Its a mixture of me not asking as much of him as I used to and him being very happy to just be back with me and wanting to make sure I am happy and make up for being gone.. but I do often say to him nowadays (jokingly).. why are you being so nice to me !!?? But we always did have such a harmonious R pre-bomb and rarely argued..which is why it was so shocking when he ended it abrubtly with no discussion. Now its like I just dreamt it.. a very bad dream. So wierd.

Managed to get out today, but didn't like driving in it one little bit. Can't get over how quiet everywhere is, not just lack of people noise in general. Supposed to get more snow Sunday, good excuse for you to stay under the duvet and ahem practise.
