The NHS

For once the government have, I hope been honest, the NHS is loosing many millions of pounds, not on staff, not on patients that live in this country but health tourists, how is this possible?, because we are with out a doubt  a soft touch, we are seen in the World today a country that can be conned out of just about anything, why? is it that these people can con the NHS out of major services, I am not talking about minor injuries but in some cases very serious conditions the word FREE is what attracts these people any service they receive the NHS has to ensure that they can extract payment, either ability to pay for the service that they receive personally, or their government can be billed for the service, this abuse has to stop and stop now, all the health reforms that have just been implemented has is  seems not taken into account this fact, why should these people get free treatment??. It is in fact not free as we all pay for it through National Insurance as this is towards your pension so a pension is NOT a benefit!!!.

Just to support this I will relate a short story, a friend of mine went to Spain for his holiday, within a few days his wife had a heart attack, on arrival at hospital he had to provide a means to pay for her care, consequently he had to pay on his credit card, the truth is no pay no treatment, so if we are not able to get help when on holiday without paying for it why do we allow these tourists get it for free??.
