Some. American drugs companies too, though. They want our bargaining power to be mediated by the coming UKUSA trade agreement so we have to pay through the nose like Americans do. At the moment they either sell to us or lose out on our custom (the NHS is not above refusing to buy a drug on expense grounds). They're trying to make this impossible for us to do by levering political power, because single payer healthcare doesn't permit them to abuse their market power over here.

You’re saying that if you joined some sort of union that you could negotiate from a much stronger position, similar to single-payer healthcare?
