And that refers to a treatment for humans provided often with or by money provided (by taxes) through the government. I suspect the same comments are made in every country - they are certainly made in the UK where, ironically, there is a national - and largely free - national health service. [and I bet someone from the UK will say dental services aren't free: go to the US if you want a comparison].<br /><br />So if people say that for their own treatment there is little wonder that people complain about the cost of treating animals: treatment which receives no government subsidies so far as I am aware.<br /><br />We live in a world where people expect things to be provided by some magical means that doesn't involve personal expense.GBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10289400344300258872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4467044113128246688.post-19885464962970378802013-04-09T21:04:56.516+12:002013-04-09T21:04:56.516+12:00Wow I had no idea!

We ended up spending $1500 on him and we are glad we had the savings there to do it. He is well worth every cent - such a gorgeous smoocher, life would have been very different without him. He received incredible care from all the professionals involved and I had no idea they were so poorly paid. How much more appreciative I am now!Tall Pipihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08156116653469566766noreply@blogger.com
