Fwd: [hypertension] Medicare will NOW PAY for Supplementati...

[Guest guest]

Now I would have said, every little helps and I wish the UK would follow suit

but that will never happen and we are probably going to lose the right to

purchase them let alone get them on 'prescription'.

Oh yes! we have thought of it, we want to relocate to Australia (our son

lives in Brisbane) but we have to wait another couple of years to retire

there. One of the couple has to be 55 before they will even contemplate

accepting them and we also have to have a certain amount of monies to take

with us and a set amount of pension every year as well. So as soon as that

'option' is open to us, we will be on the next plane out.

I think that is a foregone conclusion for the world unfortunately = so I

suppose the longer you can keep it at bay the better. If we all lobby our

MP's then maybe the 'limitations' will not go ahead, it has not been passed

in parliament yet. However, with Mr. I rule the world, Blair, it will most

likely be passed no matter what we the common people think or want/

The problem (as I see it) is when the " every little " hurts

rather than helps. Once we have " health professionals " ( & I use that

term in the Orwellian twisted way) it is one step from making all

supplements prescription items with dosages being just as limited as

you folks have in Europe.
