Don’t Gamble With your Life… Stay Covered
April 17, 2010 | 14 Comments
The National Health Service (NHS) is something few of us would live without – a unique service that provides vital cover in case we struggle through ill health, accident or disease. However, when it comes to the crunch how many of us feel we can rely on the service in the face of a life-threatening condition?
Waiting lists, unreliable services and increasing health concerns within hospitals are leading many to look to private care when the worst happens. However, the prices of treatment in the private sector leave most with little choice but to endure the difficult conditions and frustrating delays of the NHS. The one solution to this potentially life-threatening problem is health insurance.
Health insurance varies widely both in terms of cost and cover. However, the right policy can offer massive savings at the most vital time. For example, many leading health insurance providers now offer cover for Taxotere, a chemotherapy drug proven to reduce pain and extend the lives of those in the advanced stages of prostate cancer, which kills one man every hour in the UK. With costs running as high as £1,000 per treatment, and most patients requiring up to ten courses, many are being priced out of this crucial assistance and comprehensive health insurance is the only place to turn.
It’s not just men either. Drugs such as Arimidex and Herceptin have dramatically increased breast cancer survival rates yet there is a postcode lottery as to whether you will get the treatment you need quickly enough with the drug available to some and not to others. The only way to ensure you get potentially life saving treatment is to go private.
Nevertheless, health insurance does not come cheap and it’s vital to take a thorough search of the market to see what policies are available. Use a price comparison tool, such as the health insurance comparison tool at moneysupermarket.com to ensure you’re getting the cheapest quote and the most comprehensive cover. Many health insurers have now thrown in a number of low cost policies in response to criticism that they are too expensive, which, when combined with no claims discounts could save up to 50 per cent.
By putting a little aside each month we can be prepared if or when the worst happens. Health insurance offers crucial peace of mind in our hour of need, and may be the most important investment we ever make.

How to raise a "Greek Daughter", is this correct lol?
This joke if for Greeks Rule The World, hope it cheers her up…
1. Never let your daughters spend the night anywhere, except at a fellow Greek’s house.
2. Spend their whole life trying to find them a husband and disapproving of every one they find on their own.
3. Spoil them rotten, but make them feel guilty for it when they ask for something.
4. Fathers – tell them their just like their mothers when you’re mad. Mothers- tell them they have their father’s head when you’re mad.
5. Always compare them to other greek girls (preferably those they can’t stand) when trying to make them do something.
6. Complain that their clothes are too short, too tight, too low cut, too black, too cheap, or not right for church.
7. Brag to your friends about how beautiful and smart they are, but tell them to make their sons to stay away.
8. Press for them to marry a greek man, but then ward them off any Greek man you see them with. "He’s okay, but his mother is crazy." "His father cleans up goat shit." "I heard his has a big house but he locks his yiayia downstairs, do you want to marry someone like that?" "No policemen."
9. Tell them they eat too much or not enough, depending on the situation.
10. Let them run around naked as children, but make them dress like nuns as adults.
11. Complain they spend too much money shopping, and then go out and blow $1000 on a poker game or gambling.
12. Tell them they never keep their car clean enough, even if your vehicle is covered in dust, reeks of smoke, and has empty coffee cups and food crumbs covering the inside.
13. Force them to be nice to people they can’t stand, while you talk about those same people like they are dogs.
14. Have a fit when they use the word ‘malaka’, but use it yourself as if it were going out of style.
15. Let their brothers get away with murder.
16. Embarass them by getting drunk at name days, Easter, festivals, etc, and then dancing the zembekeiko.
17. Assign a name to all their American friends, and use them at inappropriate occasions (i.e. the mavra, the fat one, the ugly one, the dumb one, the slut, the chinese one)
18. Never let them leave the house after 10 O’clock.
19. Force them to go to church, join GOYA, and dance in the festival.
20. Tell them "good greek girls don’t behave that way" as many times as possible within a lifetime.
21. Buy them gold jewelry even when you know they only wear silver.
22. Fathers – always leave your shirt unbuttoned at least 3 buttons, exposing chest hair and gold cross, when going anywhere with your daughters.
23. Expect them to know all of the Greek dances – except for the tsiftetelli.
24. Make them believe that Greek women never have sex.
