"There is no God given right to a peaceful old age"

Dr. Crippen gets angry at people who blame the NHS for their elderly parents’ decline:

What gets me angry is the attitude of the author, Liz Penny. For, you see, it is people like Liz Penny who are bringing the NHS to it’s knees. Liz would say she is well-meaning, and maybe she is. But she lacks insight. In reality, Liz is a Welfare State scrounger. She is presumptuous, hypocritical and uncaring. All GPs know Liz Penny. “Liz Penny” is a pseudonym, but is also a collective noun. All GPs get phone calls from Liz Pennys and they always say the same thing.
