Professional idiots again

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

Smokers, heavy drinkers, the obese and the elderly should be barred from receiving some operations, according to doctors, with most saying the health service cannot afford to provide free care to everyone.

"Cannot afford" : an economic term which should have no place at all in health care. And an exemple of totally and criminally erroneous societal priorities.

It is high time for the free market model to be seen for what it is : the main present corruptor of all things human.

Doctors ? Dangerous idiots !

The Brussels Journal is not always wrong :
"This happens at the same time as our countries are flooded with illegal immigrants at an accelerating pace. We give immigrants money through high taxes and welfare goodies and thus fund our own colonization, but we let grandma and grandpa die if they get ill because, well, they're so old and their health care costs too much. Welcome to the European welfare state."

Right, but overstating the case doesn't help either.
