Health Care is a Right, unless . . .

You're obese, or smoke, or drink . . .Then the NHS will deny you 'priority treatment.'

Interesting, I wonder if that will apply to people in prison as well. No, probably not.

True. I think the more interesting slippery slope is/will become "risky behaviors." Basically, once the precedent has been set that some people don't 'deserve' the same level of healthcare b/c of their activities, where do we stop? What about skaters, extreme sports, rugby, football (American), tattoos. Its the Pandora's Box of social issues, all in an attempt to control costs.

what about the diabetics who eat hershey bars? I guess they shouldn't get health care either. If you have high blood pressure and use salt, sorry you get no health care as well.
