Magnificent Verbal Venom: Simon Heffer on the UK's NHS

Here's the full article (arguing for privatization of the National Health Service), but I wanted to share its opening salvo:

One of Labour's great triumphs with the National Health Service is that people now go into hospital to die rather than to be cured. It seems to render the whole debate about assisted suicide utterly pointless. Who needs a Dignitas clinic when you can check into a hospital in Basildon and be relatively certain to be taken out in a box?

Meeee-ow!
