WHAT YOU'RE GONNA GET:

'Cruel and neglectful' care of one million NHS patients exposed.


That's the headline from a horrific story in the the UK's Telegraph. Some bits:

...a horrifying catalogue of elderly people left in pain, in soiled bed clothes, denied adequate food and drink, and suffering from repeatedly cancelled operations, missed diagnoses and dismissive staff....

...the Patients Association has been receiving calls on our helpline from people wanting to talk about the dreadful, neglectful, demeaning, painful and sometimes downright cruel treatment their elderly relatives had experienced at the hands of NHS nurses...


Now really. What the hell can you expect when a face-less government bureaucrat that has been told to cut costs for a program that can't be paid for makes decisions about YOUR BODY instead of a doctor?

You aren't a human any longer, comrade, you're a number.

It isn't about your health. It's about their control.
