Glories of Socialized Medicine: UK Version-Prisoners Get Better Food Than NHS Patients

America! You definitely want this system!

In the UK, if you are a criminal thug, perhaps having shot and killed someone, beaten someone, raped someone or abused a child, stolen stuff, or whatever-you will get better meals in prison than NHS patients! Isn't that special?

Sadly, this is not suprising because the inverted moral decline of Western society is in the direction of preferential treatment for criminals (ie: the real victims-of society and such) than law abiding citizens.

"Earlier this year the Mail revealed that some hospitals spend less on meals than the average prison."

"Ten hospitals spent less on breakfast, lunch and an evening meal than the £2.12 a day allocated for food by the prison service. One spent just £1.Although most hospitals do spend more than £2.12, prisoners end up better nourished than patients, say experts from Bournemouth University. After studying the food offered to inmates and across the NHS, they found patients face more barriers in getting good nutrition."

"Professor John Edwards said around 40 per cent of patients were already malnourished when they were admitted to hospital, but their condition did not tend to improve while they were there."

"'If you are in prison then the diet you get is extremely good in terms of nutritional content,' he said.

'The food that is provided is actually better than most civilians have."
