National Health Plan

Picked this up from someone who is usually reliable (Britain does use more TLC after 65 as opposed to invasive surgeries!!!)
Doc. Dr...
"The underlying method of cutting costs throughout the plan is based on rationing and denying care NOT PREVENTING health care need. The plan's method is the most inhumane and unethical approach in cutting costs. The rationing of care is implemented through The National Health Care Board, according to the plan. This illustrious Board "will approve or reject treatment for patients based on the cost per treatment divided by the number of years the patient will benefit from the treatment." Translation.....if you are over 65 or have been recently diagnosed as having an advanced form of cardiac disease or aggressive cancer.....dream on if you think you will get treated.....pick out your box. Oh you say...this could never happen......sorry....this is the same model they use in Britain."
Better improve your lifestyle or CV will empty out real fast.

In jolly old England - -
The Royal College of Nursing (RCN) has dropped its opposition to the concept of helping patients to commit suicide.
The college has now adopted a neutral stance, neither supporting nor opposing a change in the law.
The move comes as a survey for a newspaper suggests 74% of people want doctors to be able to help people to end their lives.
