My wife recently had vaguely similar (to a hernia repair) invasive abdominal surgery in NC, and had to prepay about $6,700 IIRC, being approximately 10% of the total cost. In the end I think she was...

Re: Paying NI contributions - which years?

You should be able to choose which years, and £163 is a full year's Class 2 contributions.
