Government Advisor Plots Two Tier NHS Waiting Lists For People In Work

Originally posted on the void: A shocking proposal from a so-called expert at the Department of Health has suggested that people in work should be given priority for treatment in the NHS. In a move which could hit pensioners, disabled people, lone parents and unemployed people, government advisor Dame Carol Black has said: “I personally think we should perhaps be more honest and debate more fully if we would prioritise such patients if it was a question of getting them back to work.”  In other words if you are currently without a job, for any reason, then forget about accessing healthcare as you are pushed down to the bottom of NHS waiting lists.  Black’s comments even seem to suggest that the sicker you are, and the less likely to be able to go back to work, then the longer you might have to wait for NHS treatment.
