Today a area of aging [View all]

Caseworker came to see my mother. We were talking about England and US health care and she said a person she knew had dual citizenship and lived here all her life. The person needed dialysis and the caseworker asked her why she didn't go back to England and the woman told our caseworker that in England dialysis isn't paid for for anyone over 70 years old. I tried to google this but could find nothing on this. Can anyone clarify?
