First came the "death panels", and now this:
The elderly and disabled are being ‘put up for auction’ by local councils on ‘eBay-style’ websites, with care firms then bidding to offer them a bed.
At least a dozen local authorities are listing vulnerable people’s details – including their age and what care and medication they need – before inviting bids from care homes in the area.
The bidding is sometimes open for only a few hours, at other times it can last for two or three days. The cheapest offer often wins.

Next it will be soylent green.
As Kate del Castillo said in her letter to El Chapo:
"La vida es un negocio, lo único que cambia es la mercancía" ¿Qué no?
[Life is a business, the only thing that changes is the goods.]
