Good News!

Socialized medicine controlled by government bureaucrats with no alternative than to follow their judgments works just as (libertarians) predicted. Protected groups do well while individuals get screwed at the hands policy wonks in cheap suits.

Across Britain, an increasing number of patients like Evans are facing more pain and longer waits. That’s because the National Health Service is being forced to trim 20 billion pounds ($31 billion) from its budget by 2015, as part of the most radical changes made since the system was founded more than 60 years ago.

For many hospitals, that means saving money by raising the threshold for who qualifies for treatment and extending waiting times for non-lifesaving surgeries.

Bureaucrats making health decisions. Great. Just what I’m looking forward to.
