Welcome to government run health care.
This is Exactly Obama’s plan!
He must be confronted and defeated!
2) I believe the free market would provide better/cheaper access to health care, if allowed to work.
3) In a sustainable system, some people will not get all of the health care that they might want. The money might not be available. The needed skills might be in short supply and available on to some patients, not all patients.
4) I accept the fact that I, the people I love, and people I have never met, may end up with "a death sentence" because medical attention which might be desired, is not actually made available on demand.
5) People who demand that all of the "tragic stories" have happy outcomes, are actually campaigning for an unsustainable system of socialized medicine, though they may not realize it.
That’s only $25,000.
Scandalous - and the Brits think they have life-saving medical care for which they paid during their healthy working years?
Time to ban some elective procedures and save money for medically necessary care.
The NHS will cover the costs of IVF treatment for those couples eligible and eligibility criteria will vary from one primary care trust to another. NHS IVF funding covers all treatment and the cost of donor eggs for a maximum of three cycles on average. However, fertility drugs and associate medications must be met by the patient and are not covered by NHS funding unless the patient is exempt from paying prescription charges
So let her pay to have it done privately - if not in the the UK then elsewhere. What she doesn't have the money you say? Then too bad - she should have saved her money earleir. Her fellow citizens don't owe her anything. Health care isn't a right.
This is pure EVIL beyond words.
So what’s the point? Socialist healthcare isn’t socialist enough? She’s got 5 grandkids, they should pitch in, take her somewhere that will do the operation, and pay for it themselves.
How does it feel to have the value of your life decided by someone else?
"The widow was judged to be too old and ill to survive open heart surgery, but doctors said she was fit enough for a keyhole operation to fit a tailor-made stent."
What good does a stent do for an aortic aneurysm? Further, the article states,
"It admitted it had funded the procedure - a fenestrated endovascular aortic aneurysm repair - for patients in Coventry before. The operation involves making a small incision near the groin and travelling up the artery to fit a stent at the point of the aneurysm.'
This is the surgery that actually attempts to repair the aneurysm. Do all the doctors agree this is too risky? Are the doctors proposing an ineffective surgery to make some money?
As a pensioner, she is not of use to the regime any longer. She should be thankful that they don’t simply terminate her now.
(Is the < /sarc > tag REALLY necessary?)
Next year will it be the 65 year olds?
In 10 years will it be 50 year olds or 35 year olds, that do not qualify?
When they say no to you.
Then you will understand how grandma felt when they said no to her.
