NHS rationing is 'necessary evil', say UK doctors
2007-06-27
"Rationing is reduction in choice. Rationing has become a necessary evil. We need to formalise rationing to prevent an unregulated, widening, postcode-lottery of care. Government no longer has a choice."

- ALEX SMALLWOOD, British Medical Association
I believe "rationing" used to be known as "Paying your own damn medical bills". But then, Government-provided health care has always been about power over the plebiscite, never about actually caring for the health of 'the people'.

#7  "Extortion funded treatment rationing"

It subsidises poor health choices and is funded by punishing successful people.

Socialism KILLS

#3  The American version, Hillary Care, will prohibit private health care provision; all care will go through the system so as to prevent the 'wealthy' from receiving 'unfair' health benefits. Of course government officials will have their own system because they are more equal than everybody else.

#2  Postcode lottery of care? But the moneyed already go to private practitioners and pay out of pocket for their care. Only the little people get rationed NHS care and two-year waits for urgent surgery. It was the same in Germany. Our American health insurance company sent us to private doctors saw us right away... and charged lots more. My girlfriend married to a local man had to schedule GP appointments six months out.

#1  Universal government mandated and funded health care does not work. Period.

I wonder if Mikey Moore will add this bit to his new movie?
