I started work at 15yr so by the time I was 45 i had already paid 30yrs. and by 66y 51yrs ! Free ? only if you never paid NI contributions. Depends on the condition treated as to whether those NI contributions covered the cost of the treatment. I know the excellent diagnostics alone that I had ( bone scan, MRI, CT etc ) cost far more than any amount of NI I paid. Including the op, probably hundred of thousands of quid. Also the extras like months of full pay while off work post op. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She was only ever called to question people with 'iffy' accents. We had loads of patients that couldn't even speak English getting free NHS treatment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
