Issy Ferris and Archie Sylvester were told they faced $200,000 (£146,500) of medical bills after their baby was born prematurely in the US despite them being insured

UK: British Couple Get “Taste” of “Private Healthcare Hell” as Woman Gives Birth in US By Mistake – and Receives $200,000 Bill! (21.2.2026)

Not one word about a privatising NHS – or the fact that if the original 1948 NHS is not returned (advocating “care” over “cost”) – we will all be paying these types of ridiculous bills. My partner is a NHS Midwife who serves every pregnant woman “free” at the point of use – as she is paid via collective taxation. This is the same as in Cuba, China, or North Korea – and most Western and Northern European countries. Americanisation in the UK and Europe does mean that private healthcare is knocking on the door. Imagine that hell! Look at how the shyster insurance company attempting to “scam” these two clients. This is the horror that awaits us all!

Compassionate CPC Healthcare Benefits the Nation!

China: CPC to Instigate Nationwide “Free Childbirth” Medical-Care by 2026! (14.12.2025)

Seven provincial-level regions, including Jilin, Jiangsu and Shandong, already provide full coverage for in-hospital childbirth medical expenses within the policy scopes.

Officials noted that the commitment applies to standard medical services. If expecting parents choose premium-priced hospitals, or opt for medications or materials not included in the basic insurance catalogue, those additional expenses will not be reimbursed.

The National Healthcare Security Administration is also planning to expand maternity insurance eligibility to include flexible workers, migrant workers, and people in new forms of employment, among other measures designed to encourage childbirth.

China’s maternity insurance now covers approximately 255 million people.

Jessica Brady contacted her GP practice more than 20 times feeling unwell

NHS: Privatising GPs Told to “Stop Killing Patients” Unnecessarily! (23.9.2025)

The Department of Health said many GP practices already used the correct approach, but that Jess’ s Rule would make this “standard practice across the country”.

Health and Social Care Secretary Wes Streeting thanked Jess’s family, saying they had campaigned tirelessly through “unimaginable grief” to ensure Jessica’s legacy helps to save the lives of others.

“Patient safety must be the bedrock of the NHS, and Jess’s Rule will make sure every patient receives the thorough, compassionate, and safe care that they deserve, while supporting our hard-working GPs to catch potentially deadly illnesses,” he said.

Paul Callaghan, from Healthwatch England, which represents people who use health and social care services, said the rule should be implemented “quickly and consistently”.

“It’s also imperative that specialist teams have the resources to deal with potential increases in demand, resulting from increased referrals,” he said.

Singapore: Chinese-Language Summary of “Alverna Cher Sheue Pin [徐雪彬]” Trial! (20.12.2023)

Having now read about the details of this case in a Chinese-language context – I know have a much better grasp about WHAT is going on. To be honest, I think the Singapore State is “reaching”. The elaborate story the State has constructed is so bizarre as to beggar belief! The narrative is so subtle, devious and complex that it is unlikely that all of it could have unfolded according to plan and without any hitches. To be blunt – I think it is implausible and that the Singapore State would have preferred that Alverna Cher Sheue Pin simply pleaded “Guilty” out of fear – and then the State would not have to hold a trial and be made to prove its case! Of course, there is always the outside change that Alverna Cher Sheue Pin is an absolute criminal genius – but then again – all successful capitalists are!

Singapore: How a “Dead” Body can Make More Money than a “Living” One! (20.12.2023)

Misogyny and anti-Mainland China bias aside for a moment – Singapore is a (liberal) democratically elected – “Fascist State”. Although technically “multicultural” – the Indian and Filipino population exists primarily to serve the interests of the ethnic Chinese majority. There is a reason the Singapore Military has close ties with Israel and models itself on the IDF! When an impoverished “Indian” area of Singapore once defied the State pressure to elect the “right” (Chinese capitalist) candidate – instead selecting an ethnic Indian with “Socialist” attitudes – Lee Kwan Yu ordered the gas, electricity and water supplies in the area to be “cut-off” for three-weeks, so that the local people can “learn” who is in control of Singapore! Such Human Rights abuses are common-place in Singapore – but the Fascist State gets away with its actions due to it representing Eurocentric predatory capitalism and US neo-imperialist attitudes in the region. Alverna Cher Sheue Pin is being prosecuted because both her and her deceased boyfriend – Wee Jun Xiang – worked-out a method whereby more money could be generated for themselves and their families (through insurance payments) if one of them was able to commit suicide! Such a creativity that short-circuits the predatory capitalist system of Singapore cannot be tolerated by the Singaporean State – and must therefore – be seen to be “officially” punished! Hence the witch-hunt and resultant trial!
