Elderly people will be treated like second-class citizens and denied medical care under new targets which give priority to saving the lives of young people http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/hea...iscrimination-under-new-UN-death-targets.html The elderly will be left to die as unethical UN targets death prevention of the young. The NHS could be led to discriminate against the over 70s to meet ‘highly unethical’ UN health targets which seek to reduce premature deaths in younger people, senior medics have warned. So much for socialized medicine.
What exactly does a United Nations guideline for healthcare priorities have to do with socialized medicine?
