The Power of Life or Death (revised edition, 1999) by Fabian Tassano clearly recognises the issues around healthcare prevention:
Clients have a right to be warned that they may be denied available life‑saving treatment, and that this may happen for reasons that have nothing even notionally to do with their best interests. A large sign in front of all NHS hospitals, pointing out the serious dangers of relying on state medicine, might do for a start. If people are to be warned incessantly, at the taxpayer’s expense, of the risks of smoking cigarettes, they should certainly be educated about the more invisible risks of relying on a medical system which may choose whether or not to accept any given client.
