I guess they have to make decisions like that all the time.
The thing is, the doctors and family (and aunt, if she was cognizant) likely made that decision based on what they thought was best for her. Unless there was an NHS government stooge insisting that 'the old bat's going to die anyway, don't waste the expensive drugs on her' the story does not support the Deathers' supposition.
In addition, every healthcare treatment has a cost, and funds are not infinite, so care has to be allocated somehow (although it you have money, you can pay for it yourself).
This is one of the beefs I have with the Canadian system - you can't buy more under any circumstances (adamantly Single Tier). The idea, as I understand it, is that wealth is Evil and if anyone has more of something than anyone else then Baby Jesus cries. Aside from that (and a few other things) they have a good system with a complete lack of Death Panels, at least evidenced by the fact that last time I lived there my 94-year-old neighbor (or neighbour) was offered knee replacements. -chris _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
