You’d kind of hope not but apparently under New Labour and Mr.Bliar’s Government a figure has been reached….yep a British citizen’s life is worth approximately £1,923 to its government. How so? Well after an age of debating it – the Government has finally approved the use of Herceptin on the National Health Service which could save 52,000 breast cancer patients lives a year in the UK. However, a (female) health minister appeared on the news this morning to announce that the £100 million required to pay for the medication a year was too much for the Government to stand and if they were to offer the treatment it would mean other patients services would be cut to fund it. She forgot to mention the £225 million the health service would save with reduced amounts of alternate cancer treatments because of Herceptin treatments and the fact that last year alone through mismanagement and misappropriation the NHS recorded a gross overspend deficit of one and a quarter billion pounds. In other words the annual cost of Herceptin treatments is squandered by health administrators once every 4 weeks on unaccountable and unnecessary expenditure.

When does Blair tell her she's been "doin a helluva job"? 8•P

usually when he says that it means they are about to be sacked.....

everyone's life has the same value: 0.

everyone is worth less than 2 grand?
