Exactly. Combined with every Tom, !!!!!! and harry expecting to live to 150 with a limitless NHS budget.
Some sour news. The budget isnt unlimited and average life expectancies are going to fall.
77 and 82 don't seem too much to expect as averages in the Western World.

it is when you consider what it costs the state to have such a life expectancy.0 -

As they are averages it would suggest many never reach that age and therefore pay in far more than they take out. Collective cross insurance based on a whole population being more cost effective than personal provision generally.
Don't worry I am sure that NICE or cash strapped Health Care Authorities won't use taxpayers money on care deemed a waste of money."If you act like an illiterate man, your learning will never stop... Being uneducated, you have no fear of the future.".....

If its an average half won't. I find it slightly odd that the government Are creating one budget issue (state pensions and longetivity) with another (NHS budget creating longetivity issues in pensions).0 -
... that both Andy Burnham and Alan Johnson both refused dozens of requests for a public enquiry into the Mid-Staffs hospital because they wanted to preserve the status quo.

Will Labour now apologise for their dreadful mismanagement of the NHS?
Labour deserves to be criticised for its failures, but too many people forget just how bad the NHS was after 18 years of Tory mis-management. In 1997 waiting lists were horrendous, staff shortages considerable, clinical outcomes apalling and our hospitals were crumbling.
The Kings Fund report in 2010 reviewed Labour's performance and included several sections on the state of the NHS in 1997.

People forget that Blair was elected to address these problems and did make considerable progress to improve the situation.
in 1997 there were more than 1 million people waiting for hospital treatment, and waits of up to 18 months for treatment following an initial hospital consultation were still common.
So when you say will Labour apologise for their mismanagement of the NHS, I say who ever apologised for the mess that Thacther and Major left?Few people are capable of expressing with equanimity opinions which differ from the prejudices of their social environment. Most people are incapable of forming such opinions.0 -

But not all of that half will be drain either.
The government aren't creating anything. People live, a civilised society provides. Those same people were taxed through out their working life to provide for other people. That was the contract they had with society imposed upon by the governments of the day. All that is happening is that policy is being rolled forward. Government shortsightedness has driven us up this creek."If you act like an illiterate man, your learning will never stop... Being uneducated, you have no fear of the future.".....
