@Lavenderchina Not at all. Private medical insurance in UK right now is priced off broad assumption that emergency, chronic and most acute care will be covered by NHS, with PMI covering only lucrative bits. PMI WITHOUT comprehensive NHS, like USA? Multiply current UK quote by 5 or 10🤑😳

Sigh. No-one thinks there’s an epidemic of young single professionals going to food banks. There are these things called children which you probably don’t want to bring up in a single room. And obviously lots of people earning far less than £30k https://twitter.com/leeandersonmp_/status/1616005190036987906
It's always the poorest that pay under Neoliberalism

Yes, France spends a lot of money on pensions, but the system delivers a decent standard of living for millions. Macron's proposed reforms will disproportionately hurt low-wage workers.

It should be free anyway, what a dystopian way of thinking.

One answer to reducing abortions, @AUL argues, is to ensure that every woman knows that she can give birth with no money out-of-pocket.
The paper acknowledges that this would not be cheap. | @theWesleyJSmith

James Dyson, who made all his billions in the UK and then took his greed to SE Asia, complaining the the UK is riven with taxes and regulations. So how come he got so rich? And why is he so greedy that he left? By the way we had one of his overpriced Hoovers it was crap! #R4Today

"Peacekeepers" is also another interesting word to use - instead of "armed foreign occupiers." https://twitter.com/AlanRMacLeod/status/1615352742284771330
Excuse me if I disbelieve UK Tory government claims that obstructing Scottish gender recognition reform is about protecting women's rights, when they plan on ramming through ripping up EU laws which give us rights to equal pay, maternity protection etc. Not to mention clean rivers and beaches and thousands of other regulations which the government can't even list.
@francis Indeed; both are in the pockets of higher beings i.e. big corporations, their owners, and CEOs.
