Oh you're getting desperate and using mod card eh?

You keep saying people in the UK lose their homes if they are sick...I am saying the majority don't. You also said people don't have yearly check ups...again not true. Almost everything thing you've said is wrong.

Actually he said "your employer can sack you for being ill and cancel you insurance."

I'm not desperate and I'm not going to be cornered either.....

If you can't understand what I wrote (and then re-wrote) then I really can't help you. Do you want me to write it again? Paint a picture? Sing a song? Dance a dance?

Some are pretty close to that, actually.

In other words, you were only looking at half of what he said - a fairly major difference.

I think you'd better because it rather looks like you're the only one who understands yourself. Everyone else seems to disagree with you.

Seriously, maybe take the side argument elsewhere because this surely kills the thread to start picking at each other.
