Patients should pay for health 'extras' themselves, say doctors

[GastonJ]

The long and the short of it is all Political parties are as bad as each other. They all bring in things that the opposition go against until they are in power then just add to it instead of reversing the policies.

and I have no argument at all with that. They're all in it for themselves, I usually vote for the lesser of the evils and will continue to do so. It's not what they say which counts, it's what they don't say which counts more. Like this one:

The Prime Minister and Andrew Lansley, the Health Secretary, have both repeatedly insisted that the NHS will remain free to patients at the point of the delivery.

Which means nothing in reality. Who decides the point of delivery and when that ends? The government of course, so the point of delivery will eventually start and end with a free call to 999
