National Health Disgrace

The British nanny state is now taking a distinct turn toward the dark side. This is truly sickening. There are plans under discussion to deny medical services to smokers or obese people under the National Health Service.

The obese and smokers could be denied priority NHS treatment if they do not change their lifestyles, under plans being considered by ministers.

The controversial idea to crack down on illnesses which are deemed to be self-inflicted is one of a number of plans to reform Britain's arcane public services.

In the New Year, the Prime Minister will set up a 'People's Panel' of 100 members of the public who will be asked to consider some of the 'tough choices' facing the Government.

They will also be consulted on whether individuals should use supermarket loyalty card technology to harvest data on individuals' contact with the public services - such as hospitals and schools.

The controversial idea is aimed at monitoring people's use of public services so that they can be better tailored to what voters want and need.

Still think nationalizing the health care system is a good idea? It will only be a matter of time until they propose withdrawing health care from the old and the disabled. It is coming, folks. God help Britain.
