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

They're trying to do the most good with the money they have. I think it makes perfect sense. Then again, I don't have kidney cancer.

I have no problem with that and if it is the way we go here in the US the public will get just what they asked for. But knowing the current users of our medicaid system all to well, it will never be enough. Some will win. Some will lose. It is easy to compare health system that serve similar size populations. The problem is that none of the current universal health programs that are held up as standards of success serve populations of 31 million people.
