Why is prime minister, David Cameron, pussy-footing around the health service? We all know what’s wrong. It costs a fortune, firstly, ‘cos there are too many old people clogging it up. Secondly, ‘cos every time a boffin invents some new wonder cure or artificial elbow it means squillions, as everyone wants one. And thirdly, while all the old geezers using the health service no longer pay for anything, it’s down to the rest of us who don’t use it, to cough up – and we don’t want to.Sort that out Mr Cameron, instead of waffling on about how you love the health service when you know it’s a gigantic vacuum cleaner sucking in our taxes.Here’s my solution.(1) Get old people to start paying at least something. They can use their bus pass money.(2) Reduce demand – every- one’s living too long. Instead of the nanny state telling us to quit smoking, drinking and eating pie and chips, do the opposite. That way, if we all pop our clogs at 65 with our arteries blocked solid, the NHS will save a fortune.(3) Everyone should take out an extra insurance policy to cover the cost of all these fancy new cures and artificial bits.(4) Charge a booze tax on pub companies to cover the cost of treating all these drunken prats in A and E.That’s my solution Mr Cameron… and another thing…
