That would exclude anyone with chronic illnesses getting diagnosed and treatment in the UK. The NHS doesn't recognise many illnesses like M. E., Ehlers Danlos Syndrome and POTS so we're forced to pay to go private.
I find it insane that calling people liars is banned in Parliament.
It's like banning the word 'book' in a library.

Benefit Fraud costs about £2bn a year.
Tax Avoidance is at least £200bn a year.
One is unaffordable and needs to be cracked down on.
The other is completely ignored.
I bet you already know which is which.

In the 70's the Government owned Energy, it built houses, it owned Public Services and it employed people.
Now billionaires own it all, and they pay you too.
So every year prices go up more than wages.
It's not complicated why things are only getting worse.
It's billionaires

And so it goes on for #ME patients. We aren’t even called patients by many HCPs they call us malingerers, wrong thinkers and the latest ‘acquired neurodiversity.’ This testimony and plea from 2018, it could have been 1987 or 2026 because nothing changes. We just get older as we rot in our beds.
We’ve joined 130+ organizations in an open letter with 4 clear demands: end the war, tax profiteers, cancel debt and secure food and energy for all. They profit, we pay. It’s time to change that. 350.org/they-profit-...
I’ve been waiting for 33 years for any treatment for #ME, unable to work, leave the house, see people. The Delivery plan for ME has been shelved. There are many thousands of us in a similar position and when we are strong enough to be, we are very, very angry.
This Senedd election is a turning point for people and nature. I’ve emailed my candidates asking them to stand for a cleaner, greener, fairer Wales − will you speak up too?

Fossil fuel giants, arms dealers, banks and big tech are set to make eye‑watering profits off the illegal war on Iran.
We must say no to profiteering, protect people & break free from fossil fuels.

I just signed this petition to stop private firms from draining the NHS, by demanding the Government introduce a cap on private profit. Can you add your name too? act.38degrees.org.uk/act/Stop-Pri...
They call it 'just being tired.' But it's not. It's your legs feeling like concrete. It's forgetting the word mid-sentence. It's needing a nap after taking a shower. It's cancelling plans you wanted to keep. It's not "just tired." It's a whole different reality. Women With Chronic Illness
The government promised to bring our railway into public ownership. Their Railways Bill leaves huge parts of our railway in the hands of private profiteers. Ask your MP to make sure it delivers for passengers, not profit. weownit.org.uk/rail-tug-of-...
I don't know anything about your disease and how to treat you. This week on the phone....
I'm so sorry Andrea xx
We've got thousands of years of gaslighting between us all. It's time it was stopped.

Dr. Weir is greatly appreciated.
