Our NI works out to about $450 a year. I don't get any one moaning about it, some thing needs to pay for the national care we get as people living in a modern world  |
I think we will one day end up with some kind of national healthcare like the rest of the industrialized world has, but sometimes we take the long, winding road to arrive at destinations.
