> * Healthcare - as a naturalised brit I will never understand the sacrosanct nature of the NHS. We plough a ton of money into something that is very equitable but is terrible for outcomes. Most folks who have money I know always tend to go private rather than dealing with a 6 month wait for a routine check up.

The deterioration of the service is intentional and fairly recent. A large part of that "ton of money" is funnelled straight into private hands thanks to the initiatives put in place by our criminal government.

"Right to choose": Public money funding private healthcare instead of being put towards expanding the capacity of the NHS in that area.

Private consultants: Paying a private company to poach NHS specialists who are then contracted back at a much higher rate.

Agency nurses: Paying nurses so poorly that they leave the profession, resulting in a staffing shortage. Then paying a private agency double to triple the wage of a staff nurse.

Private providers: Preventing the NHS from providing services under it's remit and instead handing public money over to private enterprises.
