    "As it is, the reason that medical schemes fail is usually because they encompass millions of legitimate trivial claims, not because of fraud or expensive treatments."

    Quite. Hospitals and sugeries are filled with the ranks of the worried well, to such an extent that the prospect of supply outstripping demand is almost certainly impossible. Immigrants or no immigrants, I am unable to recall any time when the NHS managed to function adequately. As a consequence of this, the service that allegedly prides itself on free access at the point of use periodically ponders rationing at the point of use; the fat, smokers, immigrants, or indeed, anyone who might have the temerity to be ill.
