Heh heh - and the best part is, you slimey, unhealthy trolls WILL continue to pay into the system, whether you earn health miles or not.
Just wait till that part of the message sinks in to the proles.
Another group of people who obviously believe that all good (and capital) comes from government agencies. |

Again, this is simply a non-working replacement for pure capitalism.
Could let the unhealthy people just go to the doctor more, and thus pay more out of pocket, or do some harebrained workaround that accomplishes the same thing, only not as well. |

Why don’t they just avoid all of the long, drug-out, incremental foot-steps and just say "We can only afford to cover healthy people?" |

So now they are cherry picking just like a private health insurance company. |

albeit this was only "proposed" Correct. Proposed by the Conservatives who are:
a) not in power, so can say anything they like to test the water, and have a history or extreme suggestions lately.
b) against the NHS but are not brave enough to suggest an alternative to a popular system of health care.
It seems to me sensible though to have a system, NHS, that encourages a healthy lifestyle than one that does the opposite, and benefits directly from an unhealthy population; private health care. |

No problem. They can just cross our borders and show up at one of our hospital emergency rooms. |

The casual ease with which so many people in this country currently express their willingness to have the government dictate their lives and the lives of others, "for their own good" no less, is one of the most sobering surprises I experience as I get older. The people in my grandfather’s generation were ashamed at the suggestion that someone else pull their weight for them.
By the way, private companies do not "benefit from an unhealthy population", Albert, otherwise the most wealthy of them would be where people are sickest, and that’s not the case. They benefit from the same thing any free, private company benefits from-fulfilling the consumer’s needs.

I thought one of the big complaints with private health care was that insurance is only affordable for people considered to be low health risks? Wouldn’t that be economically incentivizing a healthy lifestyle? |
