I am really happy that you guys benefited the free health care easily in the UK. We too have that for Malaysia, unfortunately it is usually for under privileged citizens since our income tax is not high.

May of us can opt for semi-government specialist check ups which is a lot cheaper than privatized hospitals, and my brother has benefited from it when he moved from government hospitalization to semi-government university hospital.

The only criteria is that those who are admitted there are exposed to students studying them; which my brother did, and he got massive discounts of large supply of Albumin (protein) to fight his Nephrotic syndrome where his bill came out to about 2,000 USD instead of at least x4 times more for privatised hospitals.

I am happy you have that heart for your mom too. Seniors truly need help and often times we children who have all grown up could easily overlook that our parents need us more in their golden years!

Thank you so much for making time and your well wishing @natubat . I truly appreciate that!
