The NHS makes people unhealthy, says rock legend Roger Daltrey

The Telegraph reports:
Rock legend Roger Daltrey has questioned the effectiveness of the NHS claiming it encourages people to lead unhealthy lives because they know they will get free treatment.

The Who frontman, who at 69 is still a picture of good health, said offering state-run free healthcare meant people did not bother looking after themselves.

He said: “We have this free NHS, which makes us take our health for granted and means we don’t take responsibility for looking after ourselves.

“Most illnesses people suffer from are because of their lifestyles.”
A lot of truth here.
