The illogical part about this decision is that an amputation is multitudes more expensive than the prevention. Medicare in the US provides for the special shoes because the cost of amputation is so horrendously expensive.
I think what they really want is for the patient to just die and get them off the books, so to say.
Maybe they use designer shoes, and their amputations don't include frills like anaesthetic?
Socialized medicine would be great if it weren't for all the, you know, sick people who actually expect to be able to use it.
Could it be a hoax announcement? Everybody seems to be recycling the same news snippet.
