To damn right

Published: Monday May 5,2008 by respontini

I have e-mailed Blair, Brown, Cameron, and various MP's in the past on this very subject. After all if we go abroad we must make sure that we have our equivelent of the E111card plus insurance. These must be shown to get treatment. Once when on holiday in a non EU country a fellow holiday maker had an accident breaking her arm and hurting her leg, the hospital would not even look at her until the money for treatment was taken there. So yes treatment should be refused until payment is made. Any company found to bring people here who need treatment, such as pregnant women who come here deliberately to give birth must be made to cover the FULL cost of treatment. We have those who have HIV and AIDS coming here and end up costing us at least £18.000 per year for the rest of their lives, yet our own people are denied vital drugs to fight cancer or have to go blind. Some are known to be very wealthy who just go home and refuse to pay up. It was reported a couple of months ago that certain hospitals were going to scrap some of these bills because they were way over due. So unless we start to show by refusing to treat outsiders they will still come here in droves. Hard hearted it maybe and not to the PC brigades liking but tough, we cannot keep on bearing the cost for all the worlds ills at the expense of our indigenous people.
