45 million people in Europe have a long standing health problem or disability

There are currently approximately 45 million people in Europe who report a long standing health problem or disability . Further, the aging population means that more people will have to live with some sort of disability. Recent figures from the 2008-based national population projections EUROPOP2008 show that the share of people aged 65 years or over in the total population is projected to increase from 17.1% to 30.0% and the number is projected to rise from 84.6 million in 2008 to 151.5 million in 2060.

How many of these people are going to die in the UK because cuts are an easier way of 'sorting out' the mess the bankers and financiers got this country into?

Isn't this a clever form of genocide?
