Daphne I never said I can’t keep up with the cost of living, I work and earn a comfortable living. I am careful with the money I earn. I don’t buy expensive cars that burn up liters of petrol daily. I am careful when using electricity, it is more important to me to take a health Insurance than to go out to dinner every weekend. But then I consider myself better off than some people I know, although quite a lot of people are better off than me.
Chesterfield I never said I died waiting, when I said I’ve been there I meant I had to pay for my health care through my own pocket.

In reply to Grace. Grace: I thought you said you died waiting, so what are you doing trying to jump queues?

Corinne I’m smart I use my money properly. I took a health insurance so when I needed an intervention I just went to a private clinic.

[Daphne – I thought you said you couldn’t keep up with the cost of living? Where did you get the money for that health insurance, and more to the point, if you took out health insurance, it means you can really spare the cash – people making ends meet use the money for food (and water and electricity bills).]

This also means that I pay for check ups and certain tests because the insurance does not cover everything. I applied for a bone density test, (after all I pay national insurance and income tax) I was told it would take a long time so I took a private one. It’s now time to take a second test and I am still waiting for the first appointment at Mater Dei. Maybe I will get my appointment when it’s time for my third one. Or maybe you can advise me how to jump the queue.

[Daphne – You obviously don’t need to jump the queue because you can afford to pay for your own medical treatment, so go ahead and do so.]

In reply to Ettore Bono. As Daphne rightly said, I don't need defending. Especially from someone who doesn't have two balls to rub together and post under the name his poor mother gave him. As for your description of me as unsavoury, my friend, the least I can say is that I don't cower behind anonymity, unlike you.

Sharon Ellul Bonici drives a very expensive Beemer X5 but what really bugs me is that her car and all her staff vehicles are parked in front of other people’s garages instead of the parking spaces since they are restricted for Pieta residents only to avoid the fines. One of the garages that are blocked by these vehicles is of a wheelchair-bound person. Her office is in Hookham Frere Street in Pieta; you can see for yourself.

In reply to Ettore Bono. Why not let the people here judge for themselves? O don't you have any faith in their judgement?

In reply to Grace. You died waiting for health care, did you? Who did you pay for your resurrection?
