The price of life

If you were terminally ill how much would you pay or what would you give to live longer than you expected. I mean if the pain and agony you might be in was only exceeded by the psychological distress of leaving loved ones behind on this mortal coil, how much would you pay?

If we are to believe that life is priceless and health care is a right then surely £3,000 a month is a minuscule price to pay, right? I mean the biggest advocates for the NHS argue that the UK system with all its flaws, is a righteous institute, whereby if you get ill or injured and need to come into a hospital or see a doctor you'll be treated regardless of your ability to pay (God save the Queen!). Well, the reality (truth) is different. It would seem that the preservation/prolonging of life is secondary to our health bureaucrats, instead management and rationing is its primary concern.

NICE, an Orwellian new-speak abbreviation of 'The National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence', has decided to not give patients in the last stages of Liver cancer a drug which could prolong their life for a couple of months to a year. Yes I said 'could'! Now for all of you leftists out there who bang on that making profit out of health care is cruel, take a look at what rationing and health care does, people die and suffer. Think about it! So, next time you start getting all teary eyed and patriotic look at what you, because apparently this Government represents you, are doing to sick people. I mean these people probably payed their taxes and contributed to society, and when they need it most the door is slammed in their face. As you can tell this makes me somewhat angry..

Distractions

Well i haven't posted in a while. No excuses, except that I was on my holidays in a part of the world where prolonged Internet access is very difficult to come by. But I'm not going to use that as an excuse. Anyway, I'm going to start posting again but its like running its so easy to keep moving but once you stop you might as well call it a day and hit the shower.
