Thank you, Spectrum. I appreciate it.Thankfully as An British medical bankruptcy is not on the cards. We would rapidly go bankrupt if we married, as the joint benefit claim would slash our income, and we're also both trans so we have our homeland being Extremely Very Normal about that to contend with, but at least we're not being plunged into unspeakable amounts of debt for the terrible crime of "being ill".
The NHS is far from perfect. But it's there. When you need it, free at point of service, no questions asked. If we didn't have it, we'd both be long dead.
