Those pushing the concept of “Medicare for all” or “universal healthcare” or “healthcare is a human right” will have some ‘splainin’ to do:

NHS staff can refuse to treat racist or sexist patients under new rules

In Britain, your “right” to healthcare is dependent upon whether you express the correct viewpoints, it seems. This will add to a rule that says doctors don’t have to provide healthcare to a patient who is violent, which certainly make sense, but now they don’t have to provide healthcare to someone who says something “inappropriate.” It should be interesting to see how broadly it’s interpretted. If you’re wheeled into the emergency room and you promptly start hurling racist invective at the staff… well, that ain’t nice of ya, and I would expect that nurses and doctors are grown up enough to just shrug off that sort of thing, but this rule will cover that and allow the medical staff to wheel your right on back out into the street. But will it *also* cover you if you are, say, a well known preacher of some particular religion that says nasty things about womenfolk and/or the local native ethnic types? Hmmm…
