(I can't defend a lot about the NHS, I think we've gone the other way where we won't let people pay who can, but at least care is available to everyone, and it's reasonably decent care.)
Your choice of the word 'care' was perhaps unfortunate, since that's exactly where the NHS isn't available to everyone. Local authorities pay discount rates to care homes for those un/lucky enough to qualify, whilst others have to pay themselves at inflated rates that subsidise the public purse. And of course, anybody can pay for pretty much anything if they want, the only thing that is not allowed is private care in some parts of some NHS hospitals, AIUI. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
