The Bill on assisted suicide is now being stripped down and the various safeguards removed
Its aim is simple, to facilitate the death of those whom the state sees as a burden
Those known in the Third Reich as “nutzlose esser”, the useless eaters
You live and learn, I always thought it was the old nazi Henry Kissinger who first used that phrase
Seems not, it was the first, global brand, nazis of Germany
You know who they are, the gay Jewish actors who everyone got hot under the collar about in 1930’s

I don’t know whether Exit exists in the UK, but I do have some knowledge of it here. They don’t have psychiatrists and judges; you start off with a letter of motivation and if that passes you’re assigned a counsellor who stays with you until the end.
I can’t understand either why you don’t have medical insurance in the UK. I’ve just received my form for my tax return, giving the amount I’ve paid and the amount I’ve been reimbursed, which is a fraction of the total cost.
If you expect decisions to be made for you, if you expect to pay nothing for your health, there is no incentive to take matters in your own hands; just leave it to someone else even if you don’t like the result.
Medical insurance is used in UK Belyi, maybe different to what you’ve described though. We all pay National Insurance which is in reality just more tax, there is no personal cost accounting though, it all just gets sucked into the Borg, costs and premiums
Main purpose of private insurance here seems to be to jump the NHS queue and be treated in more comfortable circumstances if required
In my very limited experience, with my older generation, it seemed that it was all well and good when young but as soon as you got older and actually needed to claim then, premiums either went through the roof or were even refused altogether
That’s what happened to my father in law who was a lifelong premium payer. He had a series of serious illnesses in old age and was quite quickly refused private insurance altogether!
I saw this and did some calculations and decided to use NHS only. Being prepared to pay privately if necessary. I am totally quids in as things stand. I hope that it stays that way too, fingers crossed. But, if not then, I’ve got a decent fund of premiums that I never paid to insurers
I believe, Pete, that NI covers pension and health insurance, whereas we all pay pension contributions (if employed, it’s deducted at source) or self-employed, based on our earnings.
The problem is that medical insurance is high and is not on a sliding scale for everyone. My cleaning lady pays a large dollop of her wages for it. We don’t have the choice and for people who have the luck to have a good insurance, just about everything is reimbursed to 70-90%.
Some of the insurance companies are now refusing to let people use our excellent private hospital and although the big teaching hospital has a private wing, it’s nowhere near as good and the food is awful. When you call an ambulance and they decide you need to be admitted, their first question is what insurance you have. For any heart problem I have to go to the main hospital because that’s where the specialists treating me are, but for absolutely anything else I opt for the private hospital, where the rooms are smaller but you get excellent food (loads of choice) and physio twice a day.
My uncle was in BUPA, and although he had an excellent salary, he could only afford it for very small things, which seemed to defeat the object of having it in the first place.
