Men Lose Right to Prostate Cancer Test
15th August 2026
Middle-aged men have been stripped of their right to tests that help detect prostate cancer.
Men aged over 50 will no longer be entitled to a blood test to help identify the disease, with GPs instead deciding who is given one.
Experts described the decision as an “outrageous betrayal”.
Letting one’s doctor decide whether or not one needs a test) Inconceivable!
Of course, this is only an issue because in Britain medical care is provided by the government, and sparks a battle between those who believe that everything provided by the government is ipso factor a ‘right’ (plus those who believe that government bureaucrats, not doctors, ought to make your health care decisions) and those who think that doctors ought to make those decisions. Fortunately, in the U.S. we leave those decisions to the insurance companies, who naturally have our best interests at heart. What could possibly go wrong?
And then there are those anti-social individuals who can afford to have whatever care they want and decide for themselves. Splitters!
