When we were in the UK last year, and Marvie was pregnant, I received and paid about 3000 pounds worth of bills to the NHS for her medical treatment (blood tests, ultrasound etc).
Is this is a fair system?

No - you are the mug for not binning her passport and any other ID then telling the hospital she was a penniless asylum seeker

I feel for you, we paid more than £5000 the time I gave birth coz I i needed c section. It's really, really unfair!

you should have just left the country like so many do without paying. read about it all the time, bringinf relations here just to have opperations they cant afford in there own country and then just go back without paying a penny,

Allways the way play by the rules and get screwed
