not that its right or wrong, but she went outside their network, when she was warned of the consequences
A woman dying of cancer was denied free National Health Service treatment in her final months because she had paid privately for a drug to try to prolong her life.

Linda O’Boyle was told that as she had paid for private treatment she was banned from free NHS care.

Everyone, especially those with aging parents may want to read about Obama's latest appointee (not only a recess appointment, but not even a hearing)

Morning Bell: The Rationer-in-Chief | The Foundry: Conservative Policy News. (http://blog.heritage.org/2010/07/07/morning-bell-the-rationer-in-chief/?utm_source=Newsletter&utm_medium=Email&utm_campaign=Morning%2BBell)

$ 49K to extend a life one year, just to put into perspective a single cancer treatment costs approximately $ 25K.

This guy is supported by the American Association of Homes and Services for the Aging, the AMA and others in the healthcare industry....because he's going to limit their costs and help them reach greater profitability.

Berwick -- a pediatrician, Harvard University professor and leader of a health care nonprofit organization -- told an interviewer last year, "The decision is not whether or not we will ration care - the decision is whether we will ration with our eyes open. And right now, we are doing it blindly."


Wow, that's terrible....it should never happen. Fortunately it will never happen here seeing how the drug companies run the prison and ACA is private insurance centric. We're going to put a stop to this sort of thing (http://www.gazette.com/articles/rosa-101227-carrington-threatened.html) though.

See, I thought those on the left who support the Public Option/Nationalized health care were upset when people were dying because they couldn't afford private insurance or were denied coverage due to a pre-existing condition.

But when a government-controlled, national health insurance system does the same thing, it's 'oh well, they warned her ... that's what she gets...'

That is a bad policy and I'm sure it's going to be reversed. She was the first and hopefully the last before change in policy takes place. People should be able to supplement their treatment, always.

Terrible indeed, and hopefully, when all the hospitals are eventually run by the government there won't be anything more like this. (http://www.cnn.com/2010/US/06/30/va.hospital.hiv/index.html)

Well to be honest if its a national or private coverage we do need some form of rationing coverage because we are spending billions and billions on treatments each year on people who it will not help. People think by the government getting involved everything will now be covered but if anything less stuff will now be covered by ins. Don't worry if you cough you can run to the doctors but if your dying and need some major watch out because that where they are going to cut cost.

Let's hope it won't be as bad as the price we are currently paying (http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/11856.php).

Of course, the significant distinction is that those families can sue private insurers for damages.

A course of action that's coincidentally not available (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feres_v._United_States) to veterans in mishaps (http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2009/03/24/eveningnews/main4890657.shtml) that occur in a military hospital.
