MEDIA RELEASE: MAKE PEOPLE PAY FOR OBESITY DRUGS
31 January 2008
Commenting on reports of the dramatic rise in the use in obesity drugs, Progressive Vision, the classical liberal think tank, has said that such drugs should be paid for by the individual, not the taxpayer.
Shane Frith, Director of Progressive Vision, said:
“The enormous rise in the costs to the National Health Service of obesity drugs is an unacceptable burden on those who choose a healthy diet. The effect is to allow interfering nannying politicians with yet more excuses to boss around the adult population of the country. People should be entitled to make their own lifestyle choices, but they cannot expect the rest of us to pick up the bill. ”
