Easy to say when your're on £100k
good point, perhaps the NHS high earners ought to pay for their own treatment?

well said!
how about those who have never worked a day in their lives (not even yet bothering to get a job, because they are too lazy) but end up in A&E on a saturday night because they have either drank too much or taken drugs

i think anything that is self infliced (smoking or alcohol related for eg) and im a smoker myself, should'nt receive treatment.
although, as another FM pointed out, how do you police it? knew a bloke who had a lung problem (genetic) but still smoked, he packed in twice before his operations, and started again as soon as he recovered
