On listening to the ads on Fox News Radio

[Tommy Tainant]

And an ad came on as follows -

"Hey are you struggling with bills for your cancer treatment ? There is an answer !"

Basically this company will buy your life insurance policy off you for a lump sum which you can then use to pay for your cancer treatment.

The company was called Coventree Trust or something similar.

Is there no treatment available for cancer sufferers ?

Sure, you can get all the treatment you want. A large amount is not covered by insurance, though.

Nothing is free. We pay for treatment through our taxation and cancer patients are treated as part of this. There is no need for insurance coverage or to sell your house.
This was an american ad though.

Strange. Why would an entity in the US attempt to provide coverage in the UK.

Googled your suggestions and got the same response from the UK.

Might have to convince Tommy to see the desert from a free fall at 12,000 ft.

A night jump would be great.

Unemployment, disabled, dependent children. A number of reasons.

We don't starve people. But we'd like those who are capable to at least put forth the effort to contribute to their own existence.

It's for people who make under a certain amount of income with a certain number of dependents. Over 30% in our country who collect them are working or have a spouse working. You get a card with a certain amount of $$ on it each month to use for buying food.

Right. They use their own money to buy a Mercedes, 72" flat screen TV, smart phone, liquor and dinner at Outback.

We have a range of things that are similar. Unemployment benefit and job seekers allowance. One is based on previous contributions and you need to have made an amount of national insurance contributions to get it.Basically you are allowed a semblance of dignity and given a chance to find work that is suited to your skills.
The other is a subsistence allowance for those who havent paid in. That is a lot more rigorous and you basically have to take whatever you are offered. I dont think that is unreasonable for a healthy adult.
There is also sickness benefit for those unable to work. This is a cause of much concern in the UK. The government have outsourced the management of this and they are bonussed in declining applications. The number of suicides related to this process is now in the thousands and it is a national scandal.
The right wing press obsess about "scroungers" but the truth of it is that the money paid out here is a fraction of the amount of money lost to tax dodging corporations. Not least the right wing press who are all tax dodgers.

But welfare "dole" is quite complicated over here and I couldnt pretend to know all the answers.

PS - There is a film out called "I Daniel Blake" which gives a reasonably accurate account of the way sick benefit is now managed in the UK. Its heartbreaking stuff.

Ah right. We have help for working people on low pay. Its called the working tax credit and is paid in your wages. There was some talk of it being paid in vouchers of some sort but it was considered to be demeaning.

The truth of it is that this payment is a way that the taxpayer subsidises the corporations in order for them to get away with paying starvation wages.

Scrounging is ok if it is one at a corporate level.
