Bag's Rants

Any excuse to save costs will do.

Reading this about obese people being refused hip and knee replacements on the NHS. One of the factors is financial. I have no doubt there are medical reasons for some decisions and I am happy that qualified doctors make this call but to have finances on the list is unacceptable.

It is inevitable that we come to make these decisions due to the policies of the Government. Do this, do that and if you don't we will punish you. However, in these instances it is a disgrace. There people, well some of them, pay the NI and taxes like the rest of us. They have no choice yet when it comes to getting a service it is refused. Will they get their NI and tax back so they can go private. Doubt it. They should sue. It is one thing that seems to work nowadays. They are being discriminated on because of their size. Is it sizeist or something?

Soon it will be that you can't get heart transplants because we have to meet a quota of 50% from minorities. Sorry, your dad has popped his clogs because he is white.
