Gosh, the system you live under is so cruel, how is lifelong bills right? Health shouldn't be based on how much you pay, it is a human right to have healthcare.I am sorry about your step-mum and your dad having bills. I am so grateful for the NHS I cannot say enough how glad I am for it, sure, there are long waiting lists and there is a little less patient choice but gosh, when we are treated we get good care and we don't have terrifying fears like lifelong bills to worry about.
