To add to 'Health Tourism' we now have 'Granny Dumping'
Can't afford the USA's sky high care fees ? Just take your elderly relative on a cheap ticket to the UK (which only costs 1 or 2 days care fees) and leave them there for the British care system and the NHS to look after them!

and what is this ?
3T having a day on the road to Damascus ? a dangerous place as we well know
His fave prez of the week - one Donald Trump is busy making the imbalance ( between insured haves and uninsured have-nots) in Health care by dismantling Obanacare

"I'll tell you whaaaat: this will lead to better cheaper care" was his comment

[Peter Pedant]

and it isnt really a comment on a health sustem
it is a comment on how some americans treat their old people

a societal fracture I would call it

I think this is more about the Son who is clearly a nasty piece of work.

He has form and also the father got an injunction against him.

I watched Panorama last night and was appalled at the treatment of this poor man. He seemed to have money to one over here then on to a holiday in Europe but not to make provision for his fathers care. It's shocking that it was a lady in this country who identified him, not the FBI and our Police could not!

Sorry to hijack for a moment, but thanks for the control/F5 tip! Was beginning to get fed up with the new site, but it's sorted now, thanks.
