The lying, murderous NHS, England’s’ version of America’s government-first lying, murderous”Affordable Healthcare” and death panels.

From Forbes article 2012: (Link below)

Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel (Rahm’s brother) proposed in 2009, healthcare rationing based on third party (death panels?) determined factors. Patient age, expected “quality adjusted life years,” (decided by who?) and the patient’s “instrumental value” to “society.” (decided by who?). Given that the government would be making (and paying for) these rationing decisions, value to “society” will become “value as determined by the government.”

Such rationing completely inverts the relationship between the individual and the state. Rather than the state existing to serve the individual (as per U.S. Constitution), the individual’s existence is sustained at the discretion of the state.

How is this different than an Old South plantation owner deciding the fate of an injured or sick slave (aka: human livestock)… based only on their “value” to him?

Wow, the Italians are there in the UK hospital, watching their citizen? I might have to move there. I love this. Keep up the good work, Lord. There’s a life to be saved.
