  1. If you could not figure out depends you will never figure out curious george. easy-lift guy
  2. Sadly your knowledge of my countries health care system and how medical care is administered and delivered is all wrong and untrue, except curious george care provision for pre existing conditions. I really can't expect you to understand my countries health care system based on your sources of information that your generating your opinion. My opinion is based on facts and the fact that I am a US citizen born and raised. easy-lift guy
  3. Smokewood, I can understand how hard you have worked in the health care industry. I have 6 family members in the health care industry here in the states. They all work front line jobs dealing with patients daily. The layers of management and wasteful spending also occure here. With the eventual repeal of the failed experiment of socialized medicine compliments of the Jack ass party, I hope that true free market place opportunities will grow out of the near total destruction of the finest health care system and technologies on the planet. I can understand your concern about visitors coming into your country seeking medical care during their stay. Sadly the nhs is not equipped to handle any of these people. We have the same problem with illegals coming into this country and immediately being granted many benefits for the sake of future voting rights for the jack ass party. US citizens do not have this luxury. For all of the women that have left their Centrial and South american countries only to purposely travel to the US pregnate with children infected with the Zika virus now those children will become wards of the state and the US tax payers once again are left paying the bill for generations to come. Fortunately for my self I travel fully covered and the cost is a business expense, I am worth the investment. Interestingly enough when traveling to Australia one must have health and hospital insurance enforced for the length of their stay. This allows the state run health care system in Australia to not be over burdened, I think it is a good idea, fair. The UK could employ this same requirement if they wanted to and would save the tax payers millions of £££'s if they had the will and brains. I guess both are lacking. easy-lift guy
  4. The pool that your paying into is not self sustaining . With the continued influx of more citizens both legal and illegal the system has two choices. Continue to postpone the eventual collapse of the system by pressing more patients into an ever longer waiting period for goods and services or institute emergency measures to allow free market conditions the chance to compete against one another in order to provide the best coverage and service for the preinums paid by each person needing coverage. I personally can not see how the inevitable collapse can be avoided, maybe delayed. This of course would not occur over night and would need to be phase into over a period of 10 years as a starting point. The nhs as many people have grown up with and that has existed I believe for at least 3 generations would eventually need to be phased out since patients would need to become responsible for their or health and well being for the first time. I think it could be successful, however the government would loose a great deal of control over everyone and that may be the single biggest reason why it can not be tried or allowed to succeed or fail on its own merits. easy-lift guy
  5. And if everyone actually paid for their own policy and insurance companies were allow to compete with one another in order to provide the best coverage for the best price competition would naturally lower the price of said coverage. Tort reform and allowing customers the choice to purchase coverage from where ever instead of a specific geographic area can and will reduce prices for coverage. When there are more people collecting from a system than are paying into a system the results will mean longer and longer periods of time to schedule appointments to actually see a doctor much less have a problem diagnosed and treated. I understand that the citizens of the U.K. are use to waiting extremely long periods of time between actually seeing a doctor and being treated. Especially for major surgeries. I guess the real question remains,continue the statu quo and wait for an entitlement that will collapse under its own weight or consider actually paying ones own way and allow competition and non governmental intervention to overall lower cost to consumers and for the first time, allow the patient the ability to pick and choose their own doctor and treatments instead of the state calling the shots based on rationed care. Monopolies never work, especially when the government has any say or control over them and in turn the citizens of same country. easy-lift guy
  6. Term limits for all politicians. Problem solved. easy-lift guy
  7. Reduce funding for these known parasites by 10% every year. Fine the pharmaceutical companies for giving out free samples like candy that in turn gets the parasites hooked in the first place, in most cases. If the fines can't or won't be paid throw the executives in jail. For the balance that choose to continue to use and abuse the nhs, exile. If there are families involved and innocent children, adoption is usually viable as opposed to continuing the status quo. easy-lift guy
  8. They did in deed! easy-lift guy
  9. Sadly corruption and graft typically are found in all government run programs. The funds to support business as usual will continue to dwindle and services rendered will deminish as well. I wonder if given the chance to op out of your countries nhs how many would. No guarantees other that the free market being able to attempt to compete with the government run monopoly known as the nhs. I think that if the nhs only took care of the abusers of the health care system, allowed free market capitalism to cover people that are willing to take care of them selfs and live healthier lives the amount of fraudulent claims wound dry up very soon since everyone else that is now taking care of themselves would no longer need to support the balance of abusers. The nhs would also be forced to finally become responsible for punishing the abusers, pharmaceutical companies and every other company taking advantage of the healthy in the U.K. That would take courage and people willing to better tyemselfs and the country they call home. Wouldn't it be nice! easy-lift guy
  10. Send me your specs. I can research tomorrow. We have a product for your countries regs as well, it's called Preparation H. I can send over a case if it would help. easy-lift guy
  11. Marc, if I can help you find anything Stateside send me a PM and I can check my sources in the mean time. easy-lift guy
  12. Marc, hired an attorney and provide him or her with all of your info. You are being used and you deserve better. Return the unit on loan and keep your original machine. Don't let this company and the owners take any further advantage of you. easy-lift guy
  13. Marc, I believe you should hirer an attorney on a contingency and get this matter settled ASAP. I honestly do not believe your patience and understanding will be rewarded regarding this matter. To continue to be used and abused by this company will end badly in the end. easy-lift guy
  14. inthewood, in the U.K. does the company known as AFLAC or a U.K. equivalent exist? This company offers insurance for if you get sick or injured on the job. It also pays if your out of work. Just curious. Take care easy-lift guy
  15. Welcome Danny and Thank you for your service. I hope you find plenty of work. Keep applying yourself. easy-lift guy
  16. Is working through a hernia worth the risk of death, just to get ahead of work that you won't be able to accomplish post op/recovery time?. Please don't over due. The work won't matter if your gut is split open and you assume room temp before your surgery. Take care. easy-lift guy
  17. Get in touch with Jonsie and see what he has to offer. My product is much cheaper than shoulder replacement. easy-lift guy
  18. I understand your point. Perhaps the subject matter really doesn't matter to most members. That's ok since there are many people in many fields of work that are in business for them selfs, however earning a net profit after all expenses is the key to ones economic success. Sadly I believe most people choose to bid and except work for the sake of having work on the books. I would like to hear from any members fresh out of school for Arborculture and read about any curriculum associated with basic economics or how to come to costing for bidding work for customers. easy-lift guy
  19. Actually I hope to be holding the prices firm through 2017 by improving manufacturing techniques and buying raw materials in at larger bulk quantities. TBH my product is really well made by yours truly and in the right hands and with One or Two hedging jobs that no one else wants or can do the unit pays for its self very quickly. It's an investment in ones company, improving the bottom line. easy-lift guy
  20. So out of 26,215 members on this site a total of maybe 5 will or are thinking about raising their prices to deal with inflationary price increases for everything else. Well at least 5 members will not be maintaining the status quo for everyone else. easy-lift guy
  21. Considering how many students that are pushed out of schools teaching arborculture every year in the U.K., I believe the economics and viability of finding work much less turning a net profit after expenses is not part of the curriculum for students. Taking this in to consideration I believe very few members even calculate or consider inflation and how it affects net profit. easy-lift guy
  22. Here in the states that could be considered a PSA, Public Service Announcement. At least you may know how someone entered your transit. I guess like the man said on the video time to visit the lock smith, get the tumblers changed out. easy-lift guy
  23. Eggs, your right. Discretion is the better part of valor. I will pack my overnight bag and sort out the little shite myself. No fuss, no muss, just the satisfaction in knowing there one less mouth breather ever bothering folks again. Now of course my offer was only in jest, after all I still need your address:sneaky2: easy-lift guy
