    I'm sure Canada is right behind and coming up to embrace this new fascist policy. Now doctors and nurses can deny care based on political or religious differences with liberal dogma. Will liberals actually accept denying healthcare to people who simply don't agree with them politically?


    “Currently, staff can refuse to treat non-critical patients who are verbally aggressive or physically violent towards them,” reports Sky News. “But these protections will extend to any harassment, bullying or discrimination, including homophobic, sexist or racist remarks.”

    Police will also be given new powers to prosecute “hate crimes” committed against NHS staff.

    What is determined to be “racist” or “homophobic” is anyone’s guess, since many elderly patients will be totally unfamiliar with modern politically correct speech codes and could be deemed to have behaved in a racist or homophobic way even if they didn’t maliciously intend to.



    As Jack Montgomery highlights, “In late 2017 an NHS patient who requested a female nurse to carry out a cervical smear complained when the hospital sent a person with “an obviously male appearance… close-cropped hair, a male facial appearance and voice, large number of tattoos and facial stubble” who insisted “My gender is not male. I’m a transsexual.”

    The line between critical and non-critcal care is also up for debate. Will refusal to treat a patient because they said something someone deems offensive result in accidental deaths?

    Nice way to cut costs.. Just claim random people are being "aggressive" and tada you can refuse services

    Pretty much bigoted against many on the Autism Spectrum never mind Turrets..

    Or people trying to over come an addiction etc etc.

    IED etc etc etc....

    Well, it should be clear now what this fanatical desire for single payer is really all about.

    Take control of all healthcare services then make sure people agree with you before they access it.

    Not at that point yet. Personally I think Huxley was more accurate than Orwell for the modern day. We are living in a Brave New World, for better or worse.

    The brutal state socialism of the 20th century has been replaced with pneumatic ladies, amphetamines for 12 year olds and boring, distant bureaucracy.

    Boredom does not offend the senses of the people.

    Come on man, this is the 21st Century. Everyone is woke and motivated by love and concern for their fellow man. No way that would ever happen....oh, yeh, the OP shows it already is. :)

    I don’t think the oath has been taken seriously for decades. I agree with you that it should be.

    It's all working as planned.

    This is why left-wingers want government run healthcare here in the U.S.

    It's so that they can have the power to refuse service to whoever they deem not worthy.

    That isn't going to happen. If anyone actually cares and wants a serious discussion, I'd be happy to go in to more detail.

    Since the left can find racism in just about everything, then the UK really has no need for any kind of health care at all.

    When government controls healthcare, be prepared to feel 2 hands on your shoulders during a prostate exam!

    You say its not going to happen. Are you aware right now in Canada you can be fined and jailed if you don't pay the fine if you use a pronoun someone doesn't like?

    It looks like you were wrong on that one too; https://factcheck.afp.com/no-canadians-cannot-be-jailed-or-fined-just-using-wrong-gender-pronoun

    You're doing the same kind of thing here, taking a biased news source reporting something third or fourth hand without any knowledge or understanding of the rules or institutions being discussed. Of course, you don't actually care about the details, this is just part of the nationalist partisan political game, which is why I offered the serious discussion to other people but not you. :cool:

    Come on America...


    The reason the collective is floating this narrative is because they want to declare America racist and homophobic so they can justify discrimination against us.

    Do you even bother checking before spouting these definitive statements? Unsuprisingly, this suggests it's more subtle than you'd imply in this case too; https://gothamist.com/news/no-nyc-d...fine-for-any-incorrect-use-of-gender-pronouns

    It's almost as if lots of people are benefiting (or imagine they are) from spinning these stories out of all recognition. :cool:
