    They still want to privatise the NHS even more, for example, a.right wing position which will cause a lot of suffering and cost many lives.

    This proves that you have absolutely no idea what you’re talking about. Then again, very few people seem to know anything about healthcare provision, yet pontificate like experts.

    Take a look at Europe for how we should do healthcare. Shock horror, it’s a mix of public and private that isn’t anything like America and is affordable for all. And that you can actually access. And doesn’t waste all the billions we put into it.

      Wrong. 1) The Labour party do intend further privatisation and 2) the current creeping privatisation has been directly attributed, time and again, to worsening outcomes. A third point would be that capitalism and healthcare fundamentally do not mix, as one relies on quantitative feedback and metrics, while the other can only be measured subjectively.
      The NHS model is not that of European healthcare systems, and further privatisation under this model will cause damage.

        Which is why we need to change to a European model.

        The NHS model is outdated. When it was created, it was designed to be used to make people healthier, then demand would go down. They didn’t envision a society where we would all lead healthier lives, live longer and then need healthcare in our later lives as a natural byproduct of aging.

        The NHS hasn’t moved with the times, so either we reform it or we stick with the current model, continuing to chuck money into a bottomless pit.
