NHS Health Service Aims To Ration Costs In Britain
Britain's national health service, the NHS, covers wages for 900000 workers with an 9.7 percent payroll tax and 8.75 percent employer contribution. A typical worker pays about 8 dollars weekly while the program provides unemployment, retirement, disability benefits, welfare, funeral costs, and heating aid. Austerity and hospital bed shortages strain the system, with 40 percent of 468000 beds occupied by those over 65 and a 591000 person waiting list for elective surgery. Proponents urge a £3.8 billion annual levy funded by those who can afford it, arguing the program offers coordinated care, home visits, meals delivery, and strong social services compared to the United States.

A light hearted column by Erma Bombeck about motherhood memories. It recalls, with humor and affection, moments when mothers endured rain at games, salvaged birthday cakes, sheltered clumsy mishaps, and encouraged children during school plays. The tone is nostalgic and gently humorous.
