£ island - Public Health Announcement

Obviously somebody realised that most people having treatment on the
IoM are injured in road traffic accidents of one sort or another and
they count for **** all.

Nothing to get worked up about, it's just the government stiffing
those who least expect it.

 

Dunno, but if not, why not?

Dunno, but if not, why not?

I'm thinking aloud.

 

Because many crown dependencies , protectorate s etc do not pay tax
into the British coffers

 

Because then they might be subject to Inland Revenue rules and that
would wipe out their offshore tax haven `industry'.

 

What about all the chavs that don't pay tax?

 

It also shows how well we are being shafted tax wise , i recently
worked in geurnsey , tax rates are lower , no vat , cost of living is
slightly higher on some goods then again wages are generally higher
too, house prices are higher but you do get tax relief on the
mortgage what really made me smile was domestic rates , 4 bedroom
detached house , overlooking the sea with two acres of ground at the
back used as a small paddock £275.00 per anum and the lad that owned
it was winging about it.

 

Its been initiated against several islands because the residents of
the islands were travelling into GB to get treatment not available on
the isles or what they would have to pay for for free whilst the
islands were not contributing to the countries coffers

They can still be treated on the mainland they do though have to pay
, if its specialised treatement such as chemo , transplant etc these
can still be performed on the mainland as the likes of geurnsey and
jersey possibly the IOM dont have the facilities , thier health
services have to reimburse the NHS .

 

I suppose that the cost of all the tax dodgers coming over here to get
their gout sorted out far outweighs the cost of a few broken legs so
the UK was on a loser.

MCN don't know yet...

 

**** 'em.

I'd make a ruling that unless you've been contributing to the NHS for
a minimum of 6 months or have had immediate family doing so then you
pay for treatment.

 

What do the unemployed get benefits wise ?
What is the health setup ?
What is the score if you are old or unable to work ?

 

The unemployed get benefits , they have a similar health service
setup to the uk however they have to pay to see a GP
The old do get pensions , not sure how much

 

They will now ;-)

 

Agreed. We shouldn't let the Yanks in at all.

 

I trust you will be getting paid for it

 

Not similar enough then, I wonder how ill people are before they decide
they need to have something done, and how many die because they don't
(therefore saving money for the health service )
