Similar then to our rules pay for all the treatment or accept what it available under the NHS. In some ways yours is worse because it sounds as if you could be half way through a treatment and then it stopped. Though I suppose better to have some of the top treatment then all the treatment be down graded because the condition is a complicated or a long duration as would be the case with the NHS.
When a routine chest X-Ray discovered a spot on my lung, the doctor’s office called me on Saturday and told me to come in Monday morning. Monday morning I was counseled by our family doctor and within the hour I had CT scans done. A week later I had a PET scan, and a week after that I was seeing a pulmonary specialist.
From what I have read, you do not receive that kind of service in the socialized health services in Mother England or the other colonies.
Another case in point: When my 15-year-old daughter had to be admitted into the hospital for what ended up being a month’s stay, there were many emergency procedures performed by specialists who were outside of my health insurance PPO system, and were therefore not very well covered. The insurance only paid a tiny percentage of their very high fees. Nobody ever hesitated to perform a necessary procedure, and all of the non-system specialists gave us huge discounts on their services. Nobody was greedy.
I mention all of this in defense of our present health care system.
