27. My sister in the UK fell one night in her bedroom.

Feb 2018

The ambulance was called, she was taken to the hospital. FREE. In the hospital in traction 6 weeks with a hairline fracture of her hip. FREE. Transferred to convalescent center for 6 weeks FREE. Before she was allowed home, the visiting nurse inspected the house, to make sure it was safe for her to walk in a walker. The nurse came over once weekly, checking on her. FREE. Hearing aids are FREE. I paid $3,600 for mine. Do not let them tell you National Health Services do not work. They do. The politicians need the large donations from pharma companies, and others, so they keep us all in debt for healthcare. How many politicians own nursing homes, or run health insurance companies? As long as there is big money to be had, we will continue to be royally SCREWED. Of course, the politicians get the best of care, even after retirement. It is a scam.
