I know a woman who was booked in to have an operation on a Thursday, but on the previous Monday she was told her health insurance had lapsed and that the operation would cost 18,000, so she was put on the public waiting list. A year later it turns out the woman did not need the operation in the first place.

Do you mean that she was wrongly advised to have the surgery (for profit of hospitals/consultants)?

Almost every ad break on TV and radio in Ireland currently features a health insurance company, how can they blow so much of their income on advertising when they are so similarly priced? In the UK it's rare to see any health insurance advertising.

I thought Idris Elba was brilliant in Luther.

I haven't seen much of his other work.

It's hard to know what went wrong, all I know is that she was due to go in on the Thursday, on the Monday she was informed of the cost put on a waiting list almost 3 years ago. I asked when her operation was coming up and was told she does'nt need that operation.

Think there's a show about nine eleven on E4. You know, footage of the day, and that.

Cheers Donie, alas .... i) I've probably seen it already and ii) I'm a bit of a 9/11 truther in my spare time, so I'd probably wouldn't agree with the content.

Also, I dont have E4

Ha, me too. Wonder what he thinks of the show so far. Must be thinking what the hell is this??

(By the way, don't believe those Ryanair ads, they still treat you like livestock.)

Health insurance in this country is very strange.

Welsh Megaman

Why, helloooooo!

And is that Vogue McFadden on Double bass?

Ol' Donie

I think I kinda like this.

Lapin

Yer one with the big massive guitar (can't remember what they're called).

Cute !

grey_so_what

I don't like the green skirt and the black top....

cactuspaw

have to say I have so much time for those parents. So clued in to organizations that help you people, so positive about young people, speak so well of everyone that helped them and their son, and still talk abouth their son like he was a normal teenager.

Not an ounce of misery in that interview at all, full of positivity. I

Aidric

Nice sound.

Harry Angstrom

Andy Warhol on guitar.

fr336

I find these threads better than the shows...

CountyHurler

Skid X

It is, you can have no cover all your life and then when you hit 70 you can take out a policy for the same price as somone who is a healthy 18 year old. Not at all like car insurance where when you are young you pay top dollar based on actual risk.

Harry Angstrom

"Go Down Smooth"

grey_so_what

I've never seen any of those films........

James Bond??

Lapin

Is that his real head ?
