Now the NHS grants death sentences?

As we know, Labour MPs are happy for babies up to 24 weeks to be brutally murdered in the womb. 

Now the NHS is granting death sentences for adults.  The scandal over Linda O’Boyle who paid for some cancer drugs privately (using her life savings, £11,000), was denied NHS treatment and then died is something the Government should be ashamed of.

Whatever happened to the NHS being free at the point of entry?  Both John Redwood (Conservative) and John Hemming (LD) make some very valid points on the matter of NHS co-payment.  Hemming says that:

Making it impossible for people to continue having NHS treatment if they pay for any private treatment undermines the social contract and is probably unlawful.

while Redwood points out that:

This measure is mean minded. It is also politically incompetent. Don’t they even read the polls I thought they believed in? Most people see nothing wrong with people being able to supplement NHS care from their own funds. Most people understand that if you tried to ban co payment comprehensively it would just drive private medicine offshore, limiting it more to the rich.

The Government needs to act on co-payment now, rather than obsessing over “42 days”.  The Health Secretary should be ashamed of this and it needs action immediately!

  1. Once People are beyond a useful working age, they are of no further use to the Establishment, their estate shoud be wound up and swallowed by the state and they should be disposed of as quickly as possible.
