Gambling on whether you think you’ll ever get cancer when decide to buy the home in the lower priced neighborhood.
Rare cancer victims left to die
Patients with rare cancers are being left to die because of a postcode lottery that decides who gets access to drugs, according to research from a cancer charity.
There are wide variations across England in the number of patients granted access to medicines, a study from the Rarer Cancers Forum found.
The charity used the Freedom of Information Act to gain full information from 62 of England’s 152 primary care trusts (PCTs).
It revealed that 100% of applications from patients were rejected in some areas of the country while in other areas every single one was approved.
A total of 96% of patients living in Mid Essex had their requests approved, while every one in neighbouring South West Essex had theirs rejected.
Overall, one in four exceptional requests for cancer treatment were denied – about 1,314 patients in total.
Yet again, Socialized Medicine kills. I’d rather trust a corporation that myself or my wife can sue for denying me coverage than a faceless government bureaucracy that we can’t.
