Drugs that help older people live longer would be seen as having a "negative" social value because elderly patients take more from society than they can put back, under Government proposals.

The Department of Health has reportedly instructed Nice to re-examine how it assesses the cost-effectiveness of drugs to take into account the benefits successful treatments may have on society, such as allowing people to return to work.

This is just ****ing disgusting. Its basically saying let people die if they arent in work :/

Attempt to cull the elderly, next target will be the disabled, then after that the unemployed I assume.

Very glad this proposal has been rejected. Bunch of sickos this lot are tbh.
