Kill, kill, kill, kill, kill the poor (x 3)

Being obsessed with death and subsequently slightly interested in health care, I found this para from a Wayne Wood post at Tropp Armadillo, interesting;

She goes on to say that "the length of time you have depends on having access to good treatment." In my father's case the treatment is the best. And very cheap! Because he served in the Navy during WWII he's eligible for the Repat gold card. If an aboriginal living in the NT had the same cardiovascular problems as my father he would have died decades ago, well before the triple bypass.

It also reminded me about the Government proposal to reduce benefits to retired servicemen. Howard tagging future war memorials, in a way (see below).
