Terry Pratchett is campainging against it I believe, as he's had to buy his medication becuase the NHS won't provide it during the early stages of his illness, so by the time he does degenerate enough to qualify for it, he won't get it on the NHS.

Well that is utter madness and makes no logical sense, I understand why the NHS may not want to pay part of someones cost to go private but I don't see why they would withhold treatment for someone who also chose to go elsewhere
