If you're sure you need antibiotics and a mammogram, then tell your GP. If he or she isn't convinced, go to another GP.<BR/><BR/>All these things are completely covered by the state-funded medical insurance that you are so bitter about. The fee per month for this type of insurance (and for which you get a 25% recompensation if you don't earn much) doesn't even come close to covering the real cost of healthcare.<BR/><BR/>The whole point of our compulsory health insurance is that if you need care, you're going to get it without any extra costs. Including those antibiotics.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10085947370693637379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7796021442624058285.post-37921248871979573432007-11-18T23:53:00.000-08:002007-11-18T23:53:00.000-08:00Please don't neglect your blog!

And I was especially struck by singing the Dutch national anthem at the last birthday celebration of my university, Leiden. Founded by Prince Willem of Orange in order to further military science, navigation and so on.The Dutch national anthem is very strangely a song sung by William of Orange saying "I'm of German blood" and "I swore allegiance to the King of Spain". However the point is that the King of Spain betrayed this allegiance by violating justice and truth in this country and William adhered to his higher values. Now the good thing comes: the absolutely not hidden message is "watch out, you Oranges; as soon as you too betray truth and justice we will kick you out". I think that this is quite an original national anthem.gill1109https://www.blogger.com/profile/02368614583412112303noreply@blogger.com
