At the moment apparently the statistics of the UK show that we are the worst country for bindge drinking.
The problem with this is that because people are drinking so much alchol we have more cases of cirrhosis, and the NHS full of people on waiting lists because people with cirrhosis are getting help first. Whats more is some of these people get transplants and treated but then carrie on drinking. MY question is do people like this derserve free treatment?, perhaps if we made people pay for health care so that if there was a diease brought on by themselves like through smoking and drinking and drugs they pay with the money saved for health care. This doesnt mean that everyone should pay only those who have the risk of bringing on a disease caused by themselves. Diseases caused by no one should be free however. What do you all think and do any of you have ideas ??

If someone deliberately damages their health, they should be sent to back of the queue.

I think judgements of a persons behavior and cause of illness should only be taken into consideration in giving ADVICE on how to behave to preserve health but NOT as a determination on whether they get treatment or not!
There is a sin tax on cigarettes and alcohol, and I wouldnt mind seeing one on junk foods as well BUT to start denying people medical treatments based on their personal habits is such a horrible idea and it sounds like we are just trying to find ways to justify lambasting each other with our angry judgements! BTW, I dont smoke, I dont drink alcohol, I dont even drink soda (that stuff is poison), I dont eat processed foods, I dont eat meat, I eat very little dairy, I dont do drugs, I exercize every day (I enjoy it actually) but none of those facts make me believe I am BETTER or more deserving of health care than the next person who may have different weaknesses than I do. They are human JUST LIKE ME and while I would readily encourage that they adopt my lifestyle (because I am rewarded with good health) I certainly dont think I have a right to lord it over them or deny them equal access to services WE ALL deserve and need. We certainly dont mind allowing profit to be made off these bad habits or to fill the tax coffers up with money that is derived from taxing these bad habits or all the jobs those bad habits provide....we benefit from these peoples bad habits as well and its horrible that we derive benefit but then want to absolve ourselves from the downside of it all. As if we dont bash and judge each other enough already!! |

Do feel for my fellow man? Yes and I care for those that are in need, I don't buy drugs for dopers and I don't give money to drunks or junkies. I've done my time with these issues and walking away from them is the best thing you can do, they call that "tough love" . So if you really "feel" for these losers have a few over for dinner and you can dish out "your" money and take care of them. The problem with this country today is that every sorry so-and-so that has a hand out gets away with it, instead of looking down on them and making them feel like they are wrong, you libs turn it around and try to make US responsible folks feel guilty... Go F yourself and take your pity party with you. People Die deal with it, you might think Humans are superior to everything on the planet but in the scope of things we are the disease of the planet.
