Brit doctors: don't treat people who make bad choices or get old

Well sure, that's what they were told. But still, it's probably cheaper for UT to just send them the money to get treated in Britain rather than flying them here first.

Um, no, but thanks for playing.

NHS care is supposed to cover standard basic medical care. Procedures which are unnecessary or against medical advice do not fall within this remit. If an alky needs a liver transplant, they must stop drinking. Not just because they are undeserving and should not get a chance to trash a new one, but how in the hell does the transplant stand a chance of working of the poor organ is not only assailed by the recipients antibodies but also a slew of toxins.....

Ah fuck it. I'm done. Y'all have the healthcare you deserve. It sucks, in my opinion, but then most of you haven't experienced anything else so you don't know what your missing, and I'm lucky enough to be able to afford reasonable insurance. Sucks to be poor here, though, I would imagine. Ignorance truly is bliss sometimes.

No different from the current system of insurance. Not only do transplant patients have to stop drinking, they have to stop smoking and eat correctly.

By 'eat correctly' you mean, knife in left hand and fork in right hand, elbows off the table, etc.?

That seems harsh.

Either way, there's no healthcare for them (lefties), either, say so-called "doctors" (who are really commie freedom-haters).
