  6. The Australian government is expanding private health insurance to cover major dental work. They say it's to reduce out-of-pocket costs and ease pressure on public hospitals. But let's be clear: further privatising essential medical care was never going to benefit the end-user. This isn't a solution; it's a subsidy to the insurance industry, forcing people to buy expensive, complex policies just to afford basic health procedures like crowns or dentures. It entrenches a two-tiered system where your health depends on your wealth, doing nothing to address the core problem of underfunding in public dental care.

    This is why I find so called 'smart' meters, currently, a nuisance

    An #electric/gas meter has always been the property & responsibility of the power corporation

    #SmartMeters have a 1 year warranty, after which the homeowner needs to pay to get it fixed!

    Quite simply, life continues to get worse in the #UK
