     My little lad had a bad leukaemia when he was 20 months - in 2002. He had care at Great Ormond St - I calculated at the time (I’m an accountant) at somewhere between £250k and £500k, entirely free to us. And he lived.

     The US families sometimes didn’t fare so well. After they’d drained all insurance & resources their kids often died of something entirely treatable.

     Folks need to think very hard before voting for either #Tories or #Labour.
