Thanks Becky...I had some of that from the net, But i was more interested in your personal views on quality of service for those who cannot pay?

In the UK we have a universal service, free at the point of delivery to all......it is of course widely abused by many, but at least the principle is good, unlike what is being proposed in the US, which seems certain to create one quality of care for the "better off" and another for the disadvantaged.
As it looks as if we are in for a hard time economically over the next couple of decades, the future looks more bleak for this piece of political chicanery.
The scheme proposed, also seems to be extremely expensive to administer.......or POLICE.
