One cannot but be amazed at the prescience of Orwell, in particular his summing up the subjectivity that Leftists use in their decisions. For example, the way justice is applied to those with differing political outlooks.....ask Scooter Libby, or Dinesh D'Souza.....vs Kevin Clinesmith.

1. Last year Britainâs National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence gave a preliminary recommendation that the National Health Service should not offer Sutent for advanced kidney cancer. The institute, generally known as NICE, is a government-financed but independently run organization set up to provide national guidance on promoting good health and treating illness.
The decision on Sutent did not, at first glance, appear difficult. NICE had set a general limit of ÂŁ30,000, or about $49,000, on the cost of extending life for a year. Sutent, when used for advanced kidney cancer, cost more than that, and research suggested it offered only about six months extra life. But the British media leapt on the theme of penny-pinching bureaucrats sentencing sick people to death. The issue was then picked up by the U.S. news media and by those lobbying against health care reform in the United States. An article in The New York Times last December featured Bruce Hardy, a kidney-cancer patient whose wife, Joy, said, âItâs hard to know that there is something out there that could help but theyâre saying you canât have it because of cost.â Then she asked the classic question: âWhat price is life?â

The Democrats certainly take care of their own.
