Actually, they apparently didn't even consider whether an argument in applicable.
The whole point of the gatekeeper and waiting list systems is to ration healthcare. People can only get a free car if the salesman can see they have a valid need. And they have to arrange an appointment to see said salesman.
This is not a story of incorruptible science, perfectly applied. It's a story of naively applying a one fits all model and being confused when people think you're an idiot.
- adwf 12y agoI agree, they seem to be trying to compare unlimited healthcare to unlimited travel. I don't know about them, but I don't tend to go into hospital and ask "Can I have 3 broken leg repairs and some chemotherapy please", "But you only have two legs and no cancer", "but it's free!". It just doesn't happen like that, they've applied the wrong model. I'm not surprised that if that's the argument they presented to Cameron, he showed them the door. He may not be my cup of tea, but he's not an idiot.
