If I'm pushed, I'd also have to admit I don't like people with allergies. They just annoy me. There seems to be something far too self-centred about it. 'No thanks, I'm allergic.' Why not just say 'No thanks'? I wasn't asking for your medical history, I was just passing around the nuts. Trying to be friendly, that's all. Jack Dee on medical

No one wants to go back to a situation where, if you have a pre-existing medical condition, you, you can be deprived of coverage.

Abortion is inherently different from other medical procedures because no other procedure involves the purposeful termination of a potential life. Potter Stewart on medical
