#1 An independent British medical watchdog says the first treatment proven to help people with the deadliest form of skin cancer is too expensive to be used by the U.K.'s health care system, a recommendation critics called a potential death sentence.

#2 Hmm... someone had a name for this sort of thing in the US about 2-3 years ago. Now what was it. She was derived as a foolish, emotional, know-nothing and ridiculed by the media and hollywood establishment for daring to use it.

Now what was that term.... oh yes...

Death Panels

Coming to a Obamacare ward near you... (Apparently already a feature of the NHS...)

#5 No problem here.

It's a funny thing. I actually remember when people used to die from heart attacks when they were fairly young. It was just a part of life, and a good reason to buy insurance and live a 'good' life. And it wasn't very long ago. Just about the time we started spending way beyond our means. Perhaps we're heading back to those simpler days, you never know.
