I also hear that they calculate how much it cost to keep you alive, and then base it on that. The number I head was $22,000 for 6 months. So if you have something that medication can keep you living for years on, but it cost more then 44,000 a year, you get to die.. yay. Also, they ration things. One I heard was this eye drop medication that cost a ton. It will keep you from going blind, but being they have to have enough to go around on fixed cost, they just put it in one eye. This way twice as many people get the medication. In the US, these types of things are unheard of, and down right despicable. |
If you're talking about the UK, you hearing wrong.
I don't think I've ever heard of someone getting rejected because they've spent too much, nor have I heard about the eye drops thing. Hell - I was eye drops for a while for my glasses (dunno why).... and I sure as hell had it in both my eyes.
And that was under a Tory Government....
Both of you guys actually need to get out an go to a UK hospital (seriously, help out our tourism 
), you guys have many false conceptions about waiting times, quality of care, etc. in "socialised" health care systems.
