Sounds like an artificial antibody.

I can't help but debate in my head if I think you are worth fifteen grand a year
In treatment.

Not when there are single parents with 11 kids who need a bigger custom built house.

I feel like I should be getting some kind of expensive funding for being a massive headwrong.

Nothing like a good debate, I like them.

With the treatment
Looking at it coldly, and hopefully without revealing too much about my income or council tax, and I'm excluding how long I've been on the treatment and how long I've been paying "into the system", because I'm awfully tired and don't have the head for the maths.

The treatment allows for me to mantain full employment. I reckon, doing some quick-maths, I pay [ballparking] slightly over 1/2 of that back in directly, then there is the fact that where I work profits on my work and thus pay more into the system... and the clients profit from the company I work for's work...etc etc. Not saying that's all down to me, the company would run if I wasn't there, but I'm still a part of it in that respect.

Then excluding the fact that should I be mugged, I would like to use the police / if my house burns down, I'd like to use the fire brigade. And consultations from specalists, GP Visits, investigations; because I can't put a figure to that. Although I don't use schools, but thats not to say I don't gain from them eaither.

I'm also excluding my parent's contribution, because its also untangable, but should be considered.

I'm not sure how to calculate that I'm a home-owner too, who has 10 years living on a rent that I've essenchally paid myself (again, putting into the system indirectly) and a year of being a home-owner.

Although I have tried, I've never successfully gotten any 'benefits' in any guise its been over my adult life.

without the treatment
Now let's say I didnt' get the treatment, and forgetting that my parents would step forward....I would be relient on The System completly. I would have :-

- The same GP appointments,
- probably more consultations as I'd need to be seen more reguarly.
- more hospital admissions
- housing benefit as I wouldn't be able to work.
- Whatever they're calling "sick pay" at the time
- I wouldn't be paying anything into The System that I'm paying now.
- I wouldn't be adding to the economy with frivilous spending.
- I would require more goverment services in the respect of admin of sorting out these benefits.
- The humanitarian point of view of letting someone get ill.
