It does make me wonder if you would be so blase about it if one of your relatives or friends had been paying into BUPA only to be told that because they had cancer they were no longer eligible for treatment via their private insurance.
As for the NHS, yes as things stand at the moment people are not getting the treatment they so rightly deserve. The Goverment have said they will end this post-code lottery and everybody will be able to get the drugs they need regardless of where they live. It won't happen over night but at least it is a step in the right direction for anybody who is suffering from any debilllitating illness.
