A few things, supplementary insurance would be taken up by some people in the same way some people declare they are smokers for life insurance purposes (to make sure they pay out), I think how you go about including it is important when setting the system up.
Company insurance policies differ vastly so in some cases you wouldn’t actually need to take additional coverage it would automatically be included as a perk of your job. I’m not assuming that all those people with unhealthy lifestyle choices would be the only ones to have only the basic cover.
“Some people are stupid” – Yay! I’m not alone! :-)
“but what you’ve proposed will hurt those who through no fault of their own are needing the NHS” – explain more fully for me..?
“I won’t donate my organs, not because I don’t disagree with donating organs, but because I don’t want a retarded smoker or alcoholic to get my lungs/liver after I’ve looked after them so well”,
That’s really tragic but sort of understandable, would you want the likes of George Best getting your liver after trashing the first donated one if he was still alive? They can have whatever they like of my organs as long as they cremate the rest! I don’t want any university medical students dissecting my unmentionables!! I went out with a medical student once and I know how much fun they have poking about dead bodies or bits of!
