Amazing that for the 10+ years I have worked for a UK company I can't remember one complaint about health care in the UK. When I explained that US healthcare is not available to people unemployed they were always shocked, mostly appalled. Their healthcare never goes away, no matter their employment status.

No hip replacement stories, please.

No > hip replacement stories, please. Speaking of hip replacements, my old neighbor lady fell about three weeks ago and broke her hip, it was "pinned". She is in rehab now and when she gets out about any time now, she will come home and do it again. The alternative is to go to a senior care place and try to get along best she can or a nursing home which will take what she and her late husband accumulated over the years in just a matter of months. Her kids help her all they can but they have to work to maintain their standard of living and can't be around all the time. She fell when they were there. What do you do when a person gets in that condition? She has been saying for the last three years she is ready to go anytime, she is tired of living. Natures way of taking care of this would have been pneumonia which would have taken her by now because she would have been bed ridden, but the hospital made sure she got back up as soon as possible and has done everything needed to keep her alive. It's just not natural. She isn't going to get any better than she was before the fall.

I guess they are the younger folks that have become accustomed to waiting in line for their healthcare. ;) "edspyhill01" <edspyhill01(a)gmail.com> wrote in message news:a2312581-92d7-484a-8c13-13a27726e165(a)s9g2000yqd.googlegroups.com...
