Sure, take everyone in, patch them up. Then check their entitlement, and throw them out with a huge bill to pay. Same as in USia. Which is an actual place, where this actually happens, in actual fact. |
Yeah, and healthcare is a total nightmare over there, with people regularly going bankrupt over innocuous treatments. It's hardly a system to aim for.
It's a compromise that means the free-market can't really work (not that it's really suitable for healthcare) but everyone ends up paying anyway (like single-payer). It's the worst of both worlds.
Besides, leave a non-emergency problem long enough and it becomes an emergency and then costs many times more to treat (see diabetes). If we want to avoid drowning in debt by making simple preventative care into eye-wateringly expensive acute care AND avoid living in Children Of Men levels of dystopia, a way to treat problems without incentivizing idleness is needed.
It's the same problem with benefits really, and I remain unconvinced that either of the extreme solutions (take away everything and give them everything) will give the desired result. ____________________ I tell you what, mathematically, I'm having it |

Poor people. What's the merit in keeping them alive?

Sure, that's a consideration. If you assume that treatment of poors should be funded by taxpayers.
That's precisely the opposite of what I'm advocating.
The poors can sod off to whichever State is idiotic enough to fund that care. I don't give a stuff who that is, as long as it's not us.

Surely depends on the crowd you mix with, or hope to mix with.
I'm pretty sure there'll be quite a few occasions in future when I have to keep quiet about being a shitlord Brexit voter.
So then when I go postal and GCHQ start rummaging through and revealing my internet usage history, everyone will be utterly stunned that their good neighbourly neighbour, Lord Percington Percival, was a member of BCF, creator of anti-SJW-feminism threads, regular viewer of Last Post Wins and a closet Brexit voter. Saddest revelation, it's like we never knew him, who knows what else he did behind closed doors |
That's true although I don't really have a say in who I work with or who my neighbours are. I'm not hiding that I voted for the UK to leave the EU, well unless she's really attractive |

Yes, but what happens to the poors? There are rather a lot of them, and if they feel they have nothing to loose it'll your windows the bricks come through (wealth envy is a terrible thing when those doing the envying think their lives can't get any worse). Unless you want to go the Brazil route (literal walled communities with armed guards and mega-cityesque lawlessness everywhere else), which is a valid (if slightly insane IMO) view.

You think they won't come back if they think life is better here? Getting them out of the country only helps in the short term, if the rest of the world is a shit-hole it will spill over to us eventually. One problem at a time, but lets not pretend that we can export all the bad people away.

Nope. Capitalism is firmly to blame I'm afraid! It's a victim of its own success. By Improving living standards like nothing before it, it has given us these birth rates. Personally I'm in favour of Cylon birth farms as the way to increase the populous.

One way outbound tickets, with their passports shredded on exit. Leaflets (in all the languages of Babel) explaining how to scam benefits in other countries.
I'm referring to my Omega Solution here, which is to cut off those convicted of crimes against the State (terrorism, anarchism, egregious liberalism), so it would be sausage slicing rather than shoving the whole salami in at once.
When I say "poor", I mean "undesirables", which is largely the same thing.

Not forcibly, that wouldn't wash with Mumsnet. But we can strongly encourage them to leave, by starting with starving the badmen, and working our way down to the merely feckless.

Presented above. Stop funding those who tend to have flipper babby. It'll lower the tax burden, lower crime and the burden on housing, health care and infrastructure. Not all at once, but if we want to survive as a liberal, prosperous nation, we have to make a start, and the sooner we do it, the less painful it will be.
Encouraging Liber-Tina to actually have kids rather than believing that she can have a career as an astronaut-racing-driver-CEO first is a matter of perception management.
Imagine if all the propaganda directed at convincing us that diversity is strength were put into telling women the truth, that their ovaries are drying up, and that they can have babby then career, but not the other way around. ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.

You're somehow trying to imply that because he was alright with his neighbours, and they've said he always seemed OK, that they're somehow condoning what he's done.
Anyway, most of his crimes were committed when he was a Christian, so shall we start a #ntdwc thread? |
No, you're missing the point. Whether they didn't know his history or not before the attack, they sure as hell would by the time the tv crew interviewed him. They would have known everything about him by then.
Why then, make him out to be a nice person? Even before the attack, by now they would have realised he had a long history of violent crime. ____________________ TZR250 2MA road, TZR250 1KT road, TZR250 2MA race, TDR250, YZF-750R Boost colours.

If my ex neighbour turned out to be a serial killer 10 years after he moved, I would still say 'oh, he seemed a nice chap when he lived here'. A because that's the truth, and B if you say 'oh I always thought he was a bit Sutcliffe, you inherit the game of twenty questions where they ask why you didn't tell them he was a dodgy bastard and if you're in cahoots.
I realise the truth doesn't really matter with you, so would understand why you don't feel the need to tell it. ____________________ Mpd72: I can categorically say i’m Brighter than that, no matter how I come across on here.

Wow, literally claiming it's #ntdwi.
So, this isn't being promulgated in their mosques and madrassas, then?
If they won't even admit that their spellbook contains some pretty nasty stuff, and that it's being actively advocated by the people they're incanting with every Friday, how are they ever going to sort it out? ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.

They have done that at every Muslim instigated atrocity since the twin towers. Nothing changes, but the PC brigade go to bed happy that (some) Muslims have disassociated themselves from what happened.
And now Corbyn wants the terrorist spooks to check the right wing bigots for racism etc. to show we aren't picking on Muslims. Shades of wasting resources because I'm so PC. As if the BNP or Britain First has run over, blown up, killed people for their beliefs. The worst those idiots do is smear bacon fat on Mosque door handles.

Who wouldn't? Except for the occasional "bagging area" mishap the automated tills at supermarkets are now unequivocally better than the inefficient, hapless meat-bags at the normal tills.

Something has to give, but there is no appetite to address this on any side of the political spectrum that I can see. For all the railing against the EU for forcing us to give benefits to migrants, no government has shown the slightest inclination to use the controls available, to whit:
Migrant workers’ right to reside for more than three months remains subject to certain conditions, which vary depending on the citizen’s status: for EU citizens who are not workers or self-employed, the right of residence depends on their having sufficient resources not to become a burden on the host Member State’s social assistance system, and having sickness insurance.
My point being, I don't see anything changing with borders being more tightly controlled (EU only of course, the number of non-EU migrants has also been not changed at all since the tory "tens of thousands" party got their hands on the levers of power) since we unwilling to use the powers we already have to try and deal with it.

Encouraging anyone to do all that is doomed to failure. They could always have their eggs frozen and have them later in life. Personally I think that's a damn sight more sensible than trying to conceive naturally later in life. The probabilities on having Downs babies are not favorable after ~40 and only get less so. However, while it might make their child-rearing experience worse, I find it hard to muster much opprobrium for child bearing at one age over another. ____________________ I tell you what, mathematically, I'm having it |
