Well said dearieI can see your point, but I have paid in all my life on the promise that I would be cared for, as has everyone else. I paid the tax, NI, pension etc, and then worked extra hard to be able to have something to pass on to my children. That was the principle that I and countless others worked to. To renege on that now is not reasonable.
Many problems (and probably money saved) would be to bring back "cottage hospitals". No more bed blocking, respite care, recovery that does not need a high level of care, near your loved ones in a stress free and quiet environment. Anyone who has been in a main hospital knows that it is not the right place to recover after the intitial care.
