British Physicians Want to Withhold Care

Britain has a socialised health care system, one which works more-or-less. Its physicians are now asking to withhold treatment from smokers, drinkers, the obese and the elderly. This is the result of socialised medicine: those whom society deems unworthy are denied medical treatment.

The result of a private system, of course, is that those whose labour society does not appreciate and whom society is not charitable towards are denied medical treatment. I imagine that a private system treats more people.
