Appointments regarding health issues take up too much of our time.  Marilyn was at the doctor's yesterday, we will be at Specsavers this afternoon to get our eyes checked and I've just received a notice that it's time for my regular colonoscopy.  Just think of the money our government could save if they rationed health care for the over 70s.

I'll bet there's a top-secret government committee meeting regularly to toss around ways to trim the health budget.  The agenda couldn't have an item saying 'Reducing expenditure on unproductive senior citizens' but it might say 'Strategies to manage increased spending'. Just think of all the exciting new military equipment we could buy if we didn't have to throw all this money at keeping old people alive.
