Do you think there's maybe a difference between a restauant and a hospital, and the services those two places provide?

most hospitals and general practices (and clinics etc) in the UK have a general abuse policy that means any patient who has a pattern of abusive behaviour, racist or not, can be refused treatment

Okay. So it sounds like the whole racism thing is neatly handled by that policy.

so suddenly it's okay because it's not specifically a policy against racism? what happened to the right to healthcare?

A policy against abuse in order to protect workers is fine. A policy that specifies the beliefs that a patient can and cannot hold is unacceptable.

how on earth does it specify any beliefs?

It specifically calls out racist and sexist abuse, according to the article. Denying a patient care on the basis that they're racist or sexist puts their health care (possibly literally their life) in the hands of HR. Verbal abuse needs more than *just* prejudicial content.

You have every reason to know better than to think the people who get to define racist and sexist abuse are on the side of the angels.
