A body of whom I've written a piece before: NICE (the National Institute for Clinical Excellence) - now there's a misnomer if ever I heard one - today ruled that kidney cancer patients may not have drugs to prolong their lives because at £30K pa it costs too much. Never mind the millions spent to prolong the lives of infants born with no kidneys, no bowels or no stomachs, or the millions frittered on removing tattoos or pinning 8 year old ears back. Today someone whom I regard as a genuine stoic and hero made a post on her blog. Please read it and email your local MP urgently.

That's the problem with governmenmt ran universal healthcare. Not only is it rationed care with long waiting lists, but the government determines who lives, and who dies. I pray that we don't go that route in the USA.
