The Disgrace of Socialized Medicine
More obnoxiousness from Britain’s NHS. Pay the state the power to “take care of you” and they won’t. Never buy into tax funded programs. You will always get the short end of the stick.
Doctors are calling for NHS treatment to be withheld from patients who are too old or who lead unhealthy lives.
Smokers, heavy drinkers, the obese and the elderly should be barred from receiving some operations, according to doctors, with most saying the health service cannot afford to provide free care to everyone.
The findings of a survey conducted by Doctor magazine sparked a fierce row last night, with the British Medical Association and campaign groups describing the recommendations from family and hospital doctors as “outrageous” and “disgraceful”.
About one in 10 hospitals already deny some surgery to obese patients and smokers, with restrictions most common in hospitals battling debt.
They also deny health care to many people over 70. This is what you get when you let the government “help you”. And note, these people have to pay huge taxes for this service. Whether they get it or not.
Talk about a scam.
