Britain Considers Denying Healthcare Based on Age
A British ministry is proposing to deny medical treatment to patients based on age – a move seen as the "ultimate end” for universal health care.
A spokesperson for The National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence said that "if there is a justifiable clinical reason to not provide a treatment for certain age groups, not just older people, that will be O.K., if this treatment would not work or could not be offered.
"We have said there has to be clinical evidence when discriminating on grounds of age.”
Critics have raised concern that the policy could lead to the elderly being denied some services.
What’s happening in Britain – the rationing of medical care – and "what will happen here if the health care busybodies are able to force us into some sort of single- or third-party payer or nationalized system, is a convergence of demand crashing into finite supply,” reports Investor’s Business Daily.
