NHS PUNISHES PEOPLE IF THEY GO EVER PRIVATE

THIS JUST SEEMS SO SO SO SOOOO TYPICAL OF STATE MONOPOLIES; LONDON TIMES:

The National Health Service has refused to pay for an operation to prevent a pensioner’s agonising migraines because the woman paid privately for earlier treatment.

Maureen Alden, 74, from Bristol, spent her life savings on a £13,000 operation two years ago to implant wires into her brain which prevent migraines by stimulating the nerves. The operation was successful and cut her attacks by 80%.

The battery which powers the medical device is about to run out, however, and the retired typist cannot obtain funding for a replacement.

Alden’s case will reignite the debate over the ban on NHS patients supplementing their care by paying for treatments that are not funded by the health service.

Breast cancer sufferers have been told they will be denied NHS treatment if they pay privately for “top-up” drugs. Patients are taking legal action to fight the ban.

• SOCIALIST SCUM: THEY CAN'T DO IT PROPERLY THEMSELVES AND SEEK TO PUNISH FOLKS WHO EVER TRY TO HELP THEMSELVES.

• WHY!?

• BECAUSE THEIR POWER IS MORE IMPORTANT TO THEM THAN THE SERVICE.

• LEFTISTS LOVE SOCIALISM NO MATTER THE RESULTS. THEY ESPECIALLY LOVE THE TAKING - MORE THAN THE GIVING/REDISTRIBUTING.

• LIKE WHEN OBAMA TOLD RUSSERT HE STILL FAVORED A CAPITAL GAINS TAX INCREASES EVEN THOUGH HE ADMITTED IT WOULD SLOW THE ECONOMY AND REDUCE REVENUES.

SHEESH.

THE DEMOCRATS WANT TO MAKE OUT HEALTHCARE SYSTEM MORE LIKE THE NHS.

VOTE ACCORDINGLY.
