several
bone grafts, maxillofacial reconstruction, dental implants.

But the only thing I've had under general anesthetic was the plate in my arm. But I was only in hospital for about 6 hours even for that.

He cost more than he'll ever pay in taxes.
That said he does do medical research so that may count on his side.

Would you know how much that kind of thing costs?

Arses.
The total cost of the surgery bar the arm would have been about 20K private. I pay over 10K a year in income tax. Even if the arm is another 20K they're still well up on me.

Plus, I smoked for 15 years. For my tax contribution I should have my own hospital.

It's all out of your NI though, what's that cost?

the whys in the what now?
only NI goes towards the NHS? I'm pretty sure there's a budget contribution from the income tax, too.

I can't find anything either way.
Apparently we're not allowed to know where NHS funding comes from.
