This is sort of misleading, since the majority of the article is basically saying "hey these doctors are saying people who lead vastly unhealthy lifestyles are a waste of public resources". There's no hard and fast evidence that anyone is being denied care because of some sort of failing in the funding of the public health care system - just pretty baseless speculation that one in ten hospitals in the UK sometimes deny treatment based on the patients commitment to their own well-being and health.

Can't really argue with that.
