I'm appalled by this story. I don't see how UK courts have the right to make such decisions... Especially given the citizenship issues. I sincerely hope the backlash from this will cause some policy change.
I'm not so much entirely against the NHS (they saved my brother's life), but this is inexcusable.

I too hope very strongly that the world influences a change to keep this from happening again. As for the NHS, I don't even have an opinion at this point. I had heard that things were working out so well, but from what I've heard over the last few days about their budgets, it is starting to look like this was not only intentional, but just the beginning. Remember that this same thing happened under Stalin and Hitler. Both of which had very successful socialized healthcare systems until they started running out of money.

The NHS is doing well, and renowned for what it is. However, people expect more, without expecting to pay more. It seems to be more of a misconception of reality in some cases. This case however, is a rarity and an outrage.
