I can see using those for grey water, but not black water. Grey water is our lingo for water that is used for showers, clothes and dish washing. Black water is the volumes that have sewerage in it. /BAH

You can take it from me that this doesn't happen in the UK. You are *entitled* to a doctor and treatment no matter how bad your health may be. Graham

Sometimes a post might not "go" until later, but no I don't post in batches. That reply of mine at 9:45 included the header: Date: Mon, 13 Nov 2006 09:45:53 +0000 so I don't think there's a problem. Not this end, anyway.

What I meant was that an insurance-based system will refuse to treat people who it considers are not insured sooner than one which does not depend on insurance. That means that, should you need a heart transplant, for instance, the only reason you might not get one (other than medical reasons) is because of the limits of the system, not because of your lack of adequate premiums. |
