Whilst I was shocked that my wife’s cancer surgery left us $5,000 out of pocket, the final bill has now come through. The full cost? $98,524.16 That is the reality of a privatised healthcare system. To those in the United Kingdom casually attacking the NHS and backing Reform UK Limited’s plans to dismantle it: understand what you are asking for. This is not abstract policy debate. This is what happens when healthcare becomes a market commodity instead of a public service. Without insurance, that bill would have been ours alone. No safety net. No guarantee of affordability. Just life-altering debt at the worst possible moment. Be very careful what you wish for !

@FurryDuffer @dieworkwear Growing up we had one of these over the stairwell and one in the kitchen, right over the table. If Mum'd washed bedding we had to pass the salt and vinegar around the edges.

@triciag59 @TackJompson My Mum did that, too. She'd learned from her Mum, who could do the same thing AND throw the buttered slice on to the correct plate of a 12-seater table without even looking up.

@mirabiledictu86 @Paul_L_OBrien When my Mum was dying from a brain tumour I found a school poetry book from her era and took it in and we re-read all the stuff she half-remembered. She seemed to enjoy it.

@NHereright71207 @BradfemlyWalsh AND it gives you hay-fever, judging by those eyes.

@RhodesFi32898 @jk_rowling @SimonHButler If someone were to send a supportive card to their registered address, d'you think that would help?

@neilgharrison @OrkneyLibrary @agathachristie I thought that was Enid Blyton? Sounds most uncomfortable, in any case!

@mbolan67 @BonnieG4984 @Rainmaker1973 My Mum was a brilliant seamstress, and had a little folder of photos of the creations she was most proud of. I put them all in a massive frame in her nursing home room, and it made staff look at her with new respect and interest.

@Azul_76 @moviefeminist @SurrogConcern Adoption is an attempt to provide the best life for a child who already exists. Surrogacy is deliberately creating a child who will be taken away from the mother.

@YutakaBOOM @xmuse_ It's not American, though. It says that in the first tweet.

@BertDalziel Forgive my cynicism, but whenever someone waxes lyrical about the joys of family care I look to see if it's a bloke. The sex that famously take on caring responsibilities so readily.

@heterodoxan @CarilynJohnson @TheAttagirls @CatherineHume10 They most certainly did. It was a cause of great alarm when Nice People realised that, but only because the women, like the men, stripped to the waist.

@MissFenella @millihill Ooh, I got terfed out of that one at the time of the original schism. I'd not even said anything contentious, just had Scary Ribbons on my profile.
