#1 Disagree with opening comment: unlike politicians, drunken sailors know when to quit spending money; when their pockets are empty.

#2 almost sounds like "death panels" or some such. Soooo Palin was wrong, huh?

#3 The NHS limits its expenditures on medical care one way, the USA uses other methods. Avastin therapy costs $8000/month but the manufacturer is said to have limited each patient's annual outlay to $55000. "Every cancer patient should get the drugs their doctor recommends" Nice utopian thinking. Who's going to pay for it? Is there no limit?

#4 The problem is... the cure is really simple. Create enough alcaline environment in the body and use a slight cyanide poisoning (apricot kernels) and the cancer will go into remission. Of course, the pharma does not want you to know that, about baking soda and apricot kernels. They got a big stake in the chemotherapy and they don't mind if some hapless individuals die needlessly, as long s their margin (a hefty one at that) is preserved.

The gummint disease industry, on the other hand, sees an opportunity for social engineering.

From both of their POVs, what's not to like?
