why do some GP charge?

Answer 1

hmm, well since this is in the motorcycles section...I thought you meant GP = Grand Prix. But since your question would make absolutely no sense that way, and the other brits seemed to pick up on that you mean General practitioner, I'd just like to tell you that we in the USA have to pay EVERY TIME we go to the doctor! If you don't have medical insurance to cover part of it, you almost can't go because the costs are so high. I think it's one of our societies crowning FLAWS.

If I ever come to england, Trisha, would you care to show me around? :-D
