Hey, when is Michael Moore going to make a movie about this?

Doctors are calling for NHS treatment to be withheld from patients who are too old or who lead unhealthy lives.

Now, are all doctors saying this? No. Is NHS itself? No. But there's some interesting nuggets in here.

This is what gives me the creeps when Hillarycare is brought up.

When medicine is dispensed by the state, the state gets to decide what medicine is given out. The state is then able to use that power to influence citizens' behavior.

Why stop at the old, the obese and the smokers? There are so many other undesirable behaviors out there we should able to put the kibosh on.

(Hm, is it ironic that I'm watching Demolition Man right now?)

It didn't. That facilty was all about the "bottom line" and they paid less for the insurance.

The new facility I work at the insurance is better. 100% coverage AFTER you meet the $250 deductable.
