It should cover ALL treatment received other countries don't treat you for free depending on how urgent it is or otherwise. The US some hospitals will treat you most won't without insurance but I'm pretty sure they then try and get the money back. |

It could make some difference. As they're talking about non-urgent treatment, it could free up resources for others on the waiting lists. |

overnight it has gone to 2772. This morning's news is probably going to help it. |

It's 2477 right now...not sure what's going on with it. |

Very strange, I looked a few minutes ago and it was 2338 and now it has reduced to 2304. |

As for not many signed it yet, still plenty of times and proves "rent a mob" aren't hijacking it :-D |

It wouldn't cost the UK much if anything as the onus would be on you to either pay up front on your credit card or you arrange for your insurance company to pay up front for you if it's too much for your credit card. The most the UK end does is provide a cost minimum procedure especially with everything on computers. |

Possibly, I am not familiar with procedures. It could be that the cost of the extra bureaucracy would be more than the NHS saving. |

Couldn't it be like it is now when you buy a plane ticket for US they ask you to get insurance....or easier still you can't get into the country without showing it with your passport. Sure some countries will have false documents then you warn that country you won't let anyone in unless they clean up their act. |

The proof might be difficult as it would involve insurance companies from other countries. What level of insurance would be required? I suppose they are things for the MPs to debate though. |

True but this one sounds straight forward. |

The trouble with many of those petitions is that although they sound reasonable they may be difficult to implement or have implications that are not obvious. One can easily sign in good faith without knowing the full details of the subject. |

There's one just starting up on the Government site, asking that all visitors prove they have health insurance before they can enter the country........request sounds fair enough to me.......would any of you travel to the US for instance without insurance? |

The Government wants everything done by t'intenet now - even though it's quite happy that a vast amount of this 'first world' country doesn't have access. |

Sharron, your parish clerk might be generally right but petitions do sometimes work and we have a local example. |

Hmmm never thought of that....so in this case would we write to the Queen or dear Miss MT as PM...or.....oh no hang on I don't care if he visits so won't bother..in this case.... :-D |

There is a thread on here about a petition that is currently circulating. I don't generally sign petitions although I might sometimes add to one in the spirit of casting a vote. |
