I’m as confused about this as Slublog is. I can see arthritis and asthma. But…heart failure?

Millions of people with arthritis, asthma and even heart failure will be urged to treat themselves as part of a Government plan to save billions of pounds from the NHS budget.

Instead of going to hospital or consulting a doctor, patients will be encouraged to carry out “self care” as the Department of Health (DoH) tries to meet Treasury targets to curb spending.

I’ve got to get me some of that gov’t run health care.
