Heh! It took the Roman Empire longer to fall than the United States has

Yes,that's what happens. And with the doctor/GP. I can go see him
(quarter mile away ) the same day if it's urgent.
I can ring for an ambulance, it will be here in minutes. They have a
helicopter too. My nieghbour was taken away in the helicopter two
weeks ago. (Kicked in the face by a cow)

And you know what? No-one asks me about insurance and money.
If you were visiting you would get the same treatment. Not like the
money grubbing American system.
