In response to Jane Kelly: NHS should prioritise cancer care over risky gay sex, Demon Teddy Bear wrote:

Another nail in the coffin of the NHS, I fear. Like the author, I’ve paid in to the pot all my life. During a recent illness I struggled to get any treatment whatsoever, being too ill to overcome the hurdles used as a trick to ration care. I now wonder why I pay at all. This judgement reinforces that feeling. Let the risky types insure the possible consequences of their own vices. The rest of us would prefer to pay for healthcare.
