Unlikely.

Well then (deleting my last point while I can) they don’t practice what they preach.

Should they comment on every patient who has a rare health issue with expensive treatment who gets denied or discontinued for political or financial reasons despite the health benefits?

It shouldn’t be depoliticized by putting it into health and aging. It takes attention away from the UN concerns etc. people looking for political discussion about it might miss it etc.

It isn't depoliliticize by the category of a forum. it is only depoliticized if people choose not to name those things where ever the discussion happens to land.

This is a benchmark case. She’s the first in the world to have funding for this medication cut. It’s a deliberate political move. The precedent takes us in a very very bad direction and if UCCan doesn’t say something they repeat mistakes of history.

if people are doing searches for political discussion on the topic it should be under politics. The statement is political not health related.

People argue at every slip down that it’s not happening.

Maybe some feel that is placed there it will mellow and then be more palatable ...

Real powers have more alien thoughts than even I! Me? I'm just part of the paradoxical abstract ...

If they wish to have great influence shouldn't we know what they expect?

Isn't it the only way for them to get it all together?

Then perhaps they really don't desire that end ... too tight!
