"Britain’s NHS was once idolized. Now its worst-ever crisis is fueling a boom in private health care"

- article from CNN

There are certain elements of the current Conservative government who want the NHS to be replaced by private care.

Some of this is driven by ideology - low tax, small state. And some of it is driven by greed - lobbying by large US healthcare groups, or more obviously owning shares in those groups.

This has led to an almost deliberate policy of mismanaging and underfunding in real terms the NHS.

Great Britain is not part of the EU. Neither am I from the UK.
