Medical costs...
Here in the UK, we're horrified to hear of situations like VLJ's, where the medical help you need depends on whether
1. either you can pay (via insurance) or
2. via someone else's insurance.
Here in the UK, ALL medical costs, post operative help and support, including nursing care at home and most medications, are free. Medication prescriptions are free for over 60s, school age, unemployed, disabled. This is paid for by Government via a National Insurance Schene - a nominal amount from your wages. We are horrified to hear of the possibility of going untreated if you're not insured or under-insured. I think the other Commonwealth countries have similarly-funded schemes to the UK. Canada, Australia & New Zealand.
I hope your insurance business sorts itself out, VLJ, and you get paid out for all your damages, but mostly that all your medical care gets covered.
Best wishes to you.
