Obama's plan isn't going down well in the U.S., how do you feel about this being implemented here?

It's reportedly going to cost €1500 for the minimum coverage & if you don't agree they will take it from your wages/benefits.

How much do you honestly have left to give?

I'm so surprised at the 26. Surprised and pretty disappointed. And then to have Enda have the neck on him to go onscreen and say the worst is over?

3000 ghost estates and there's a homeless problem? Serious re-evaluation of priorities needed down there...

A bit more backbone to Europe and you'd have the cash to provide it free of charge to everyone.

You're not wrong. A lot of people will be pushed over the edge if this is implemented. Do you have the NHS up there?

sure we would all have to pay more taxes if we introduced something similar as the NHS?

Luckily I have private insurance which is mostly covered by my employer.

Will they still provide this once they know you will have to buy it anyway?

They started taxing us on benefits in kind like company cars, don't you think the same will happen on medical benefits?

You're right, I doubt my company would still pay for it if having it is compulsary! And I actually have to pay BIK for the health insurance.

My reply was mainly related to introducing something similar to the NHS. This would just increase all our taxes and probably paying either more taxes or paying private insurance may be around the same ffs ...

Ah, I wasn't aware BIK already applied to medical.

Oh for sure extra taxes would apply if an'NHS'was set up here but they couldn't introduce a new tax at nearly €30 a week so instead they'll force us to find our own from a limited market.

May never come to pass. Cannot see Reilly lasting long enough to implement this. Particularly now that Labour seem to be changing their minds about it

Bet that wee €100 house tax takes a rise. Water charges? Well why not. Oh and I dare say another percentage point on VAT would go down well.

Etc

I have a friend who lives down south and he said he had an ear infection the other week. He had to get it checked out which was €30, then he had to get the medication €20, then the problem persisted so he had to get it checked out again €30 then he had to pay for different medication €15.

€ if someone if paying this much for an ear infection then there is a serious problem with the system. Here in the North we have the NHS and it is so reassuring that if there ever was a problem you can be looked after and not be crippled financially.

€50 for my last GP visit! & yes, you pay actual cost for most medicine. The tube of ointment....€24.
