    Attempts are being made via other forums to lobby Dave Walden. but Steph is right, we have no pulling power and while so many Brits are rushing here on E2 as it is, why should anyone in authority really care. It is short sighted though, the fact is that if you suddenly took away all the Brits running businesses in Florida, the tourist industry here would fall flat on its face and quick.

    What i should have said is the Midwives will do the straightforward stuff on the NHS, the O&G consultant will do the "fiddly" jobs, But in the US the O&G will do the easy stuff and charge a bomb!!!![msnwink]<blockquote id="quote" class="ffs">quote:Originally posted by blott

    Not nearly enough considering the degree of responsibility and workload. Am I right, Liz?

    I have just been catching up on all the recent comments, and I have to agree with Julie, that all our American friends are apalled at our situation, find it hard to believe, and even say things like " are you sure you've got it right ? You own a business and contibute to the economy. Surely you can at least get a green card ? " They are absolutely flabbergasted when you explain how things really are.
    on the other subject, my grandson was born in Celebration Hospital 2 years ago, and the costs exceeded $10,000.00, and everything was very straightforward. We had medical insurance, but not maternity , as I had declined it as I knew I wouldn't need it ( duh ! )
