Remember, the government wants to "help" you get health care.

Reports the Borehamwood & Elstree Times:

A GRANDMOTHER who desperately needs a revolutionary cancer treatment is being denied it by NHS Barnet.

The woman, who does not want to be identified for fear of upsetting her family, has myeloma, a rare cancer of the plasma cells found in the bone marrow.

She said doctors have told her she urgently needs the drug Revlimid, or lenalidomide, to slow the progress of her incurable illness.

The woman is experiencing her fourth relapse, but has been told by NHS Barnet she will have to wait until the end of next month before she will be considered for the treatment. This is despite the drug being approved for use by patients in June by the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE).

"Barnet is saying I have to wait from now until the end of September and I am just hoping my condition doesn't get worse," said the mother-of-two who is in her 50s and has tried two other therapies for her illness.

She is one of at least three myeloma patients in the borough in the same position.

Trust the president.  That could never happen in America.
