I am sure that many have seen Jonas Jackson's Go Fund Me page he created yesterday, asking for £15,000 to cover his medical bills and other costs.
Whilst I truly find it sad that Jonas's surgeries have resulted in complications requiring additional surgeries and medical treatment (I know what it feels like - I've been through 7 surgeries in the last 16 months), I have to address and call out some of the points he made in this Go Fund Me video, where Jonas is asking people to donate towards £15,000 that he wants.
- Jonas elected to have the original surgery in a private hospital costing him thousands of £s. He could have saved himself that huge cost by having the surgery done through the NHS (National Health Service) in a state hospital at ZERO cost to him, as is his right. Ultimately he did end up going to an NHS hospital for additional corrective surgery to fix the botch up he went through in the first place at the private hospital!
- He claims in his video and his IG post, that the NHS only covers some emergency surgeries. This is a blatant lie. The NHS covers ALL necessary surgeries whether emergency or not. The only surgeries it does not cover are elective surgeries for cosmetic purposes such as "plastic surgery", and even then, it does cover these on a discretionary basis when the cosmetic plastic surgery is required due to other situations, such as the result of accidents, fire injury, or other medical conditions which result in a seriously impaired physical appearance. The NHS also covers all additional follow up medical / surgical treatment which may be required at ZERO cost to the patient. Jonas wanting to do all this in private hospitals / clinics is a matter of his personal choice and not a matter of necessity. As someone who has needed the NHS hospital services etc., I can honestly say, the quality of service, professional care and treatment are some of the best one can ask for! We have some of the best hospitals in the world and all their services are free to U.K. residents and citizens.
- Jonas claims he also needs money donated to him to cover his rent, bills etc which he claims he is unable to pay for... Jonas lives in the U.K. and not in the USA. In Jonas's situation, the local authority where he lives in London will step in to cover his rent whilst he is "off sick" recovering from surgery and unable to work. He also gets his "monthly council tax" covered by the local authority and also gets help from the state to cover utility bills. (Additionally, utility companies, credit card companies etc. in the U.K. will put a moratorium on bill payments, if you reach out to them to explain your exceptional circumstance, which Jonas's is) He also gets SSP - statutory sick pay - from the state for as long as he is sick and unable to work.
- Jonas still has his Only Fans account going and has numerous subscribers to it, thus he still retains a reasonable monthly income stream, in addition to all the benefits he gets from the state during his recovery.
Jonas is not sharing the whole picture and truth in his video. I'm sorry to say he is being disingenuous and it feels like he his is trying to strengthen his bank balance, milking his situation at the expense of others!
