The NHS, in its inimitable way, has been kind enough to provide more proof that government bureaucrats are utterly incapable of setting rational health care priorities:
The NHS is to pay fat people up to £425 to lose weight. Overweight men and women will get the handouts for meeting personal slimming targets.
Meanwhile, as I recently pointed out in AmSpec, the NHS routinely lets cancer patients die because treatment is “too expensive.” Naturally, the sane people are outraged:
When people who are ill through no fault of their own are struggling to get appointments and drugs, it’s unfair for money to be allocated to people who simply need to choose to exercise more and eat less.
But the government bureaucrats who run Britain’s socialized medical system have bought into the “obesity epidemic” myth, despite mounting evidence showing that it is a hoax.
This is what happens when you give goverment drones control of your health care system. Remember that on Tuesday as you watch our new President promise government coverage for everyone.
