Quoting AEnigma III: Quoting catwoman: It's not about claiming social security, but about working and paying taxes. |
Sorry, I meant the same thing. There is no evidence to suggest this. Pakastanis, as one example, are known to be very hardworking people. |
Yes, they own all of our minimarts.

Quoting Elisabeth: Quoting SuiGeneris: you continue eating eachother, but the world is MINE |
Is this your way of looking for a new first lady now that Femme is gone? |
Femme chose her own destiny, left me and now she is history, a girl will be first lady because of she choose to be with me, not because of the world is MINE hehehe

It is about time people realised that the BIGGEST does not mean the BEST.

Quoting teaschip1: So you could work one week, quit your job and have health insurance? Also, I'm curious what does a single employee pay on monthly basis into national insurance in UK? Is it the same for everyone or based on your salary and family size? |
Teas - you must get the word "insurance" out of your head. EVERYBODY is entitled to the same heathcare - from birth. You do not have to take ANY documents, certificates or evidence to the hospital with you and you don't have to claim anything back - there is NOTHING TO PAY.
National Insurance is a type of tax. It also covers other things like dental care and a state pension (most people have a private pension as well - you can have both).
Benefits that depend on NIC contributions
Your entitlement to the following benefits and/or the amount you can get will depend on your (or in some cases your spouse or civil partner's)
NIC contributions also cover:-
Contribution based Jobseeker's Allowance
Incapacity Benefit (if you can't work for long periods due to illness or injury)
State Pension
Widowed Parents' Allowance
Bereavement Allowance
Bereavement Payment
