Not all are Equal in the British Health Care System

Who said socialist medicine would lead to equality? Witness England:
MEMBERS of Britain’s elite have been selected as priority cases to receive scarce pills and vaccinations at the taxpayers’ expense if the country is hit by a deadly bird flu outbreak.

Workers at the BBC and prominent politicians — such as cabinet ministers — would be offered protection from the virus.

Ken Livingstone, the London mayor, has already spent £1m to make sure his personal office and employees have their own emergency supplies of 100,000 antiviral tablets.
It appears some are more equal than others.If you're wondering how working for a government media outlet is "essential":working for the "coercive" class is the most essential element in who's important in a statist operation.
