"It might improve it - so much money is wasted - loads of public sector departments are being quietly privatised and I think it's a good thing on the whole. Z" Yup. Let's be like America and then if you're poor you're stuffed. Serves you right for being poor. | |||

Let's be like America and then if you're poor you're stuffed. Serves you right for being poor. " Even the rich people are getting stuffed over there. The price of drugs is off the scale due to insurance companies. £300 for birth control? Fuck that! The NHS has always lost money, and it always will. However which would we prefer? Free healthcare, however shonky it is in certain areas? Or the US system where if you don't have (quite frankly usurious) insurance you're left to die? | |||

"I am sure there will be plenty of Right Honourable people lining their pockets and certain high ranking MP's will end up on the board of directors of these private companies when their political (scheming) careers come to an end. How do I become an MP?? " You get people to vote for you - and after they have seen your pics you will have no shortage xxxx | |||

Z" Of course you do After all turning health care into a private for profit business is such a success all over the world In fact private healthcare is so good that British people are flooding to the continent to get treatment for their ills and our government are trying bring in legislation to stop Brits leaving the country for medical treatment No that doesn't sound quite right does it? | |||

"It might improve it - so much money is wasted - loads of public sector departments are being quietly privatised and I think it's a good thing on the whole. Z" I worked in a public sector department that was privatized, went with the company that took it on, annual budget as public sector was £3Million that was for staff and Capital budget, 2 years after privatisation I had advanced in the new company sufficiently to know what the billing was, the costs for the same job was £12 Million per year, when I retired about 20 years down the line so inflation needs to be included but the annual cost was £100 Million per year. Have to say the service has stepped up in some area's but fallen way down in many others, plus on top of the billing the old government department has had to add approximately 200 staff to fill the many gaps, jobs we used to do within the budget that they didn't contract out so an extra cost on top. So in a nutshell to replace an employed workforce of 372 civil servants, and a budget that was under funded by about £1 Million for Capital expenditure the government is now paying £100 Million for about £4 Million + inflation in actual return. but the share holders are happy, and lots of them are MP's, and my salary has risen exponentially so that's OK then, | |||

And why are they doing it quietly and why are our tax and ni not coming down if its so much better in private hands. Market forces in utilities, healthcare, any must-haves, dont work. | |||

"1) Increase Income Tax to pay for it - everything rises in costs, we cannot be expected to keep funding it at the same level we did 5 years ago. 2) Tax dangerous foods; with the money going to the NHS 3) Remove the ridiculous management structures and play the people who actually deliver the care a decent wage. I dont want anyone who's up to their armpits in bile, piss and shit to scrape by on £16k p.a. We train staff here then they go into private care or move abroad where there is better money. Stop hemorrhaging trained staff who deliver. 4) NHS 'Trusts' - No! 5) People who go out an intentionally do harm to themselves on a Friday and Saturday nights by drinking to excess and then ending up in A&E should be charged for their care. Why should we pay for every Hooray Henry that wants to get poisonous levels of Stella in their bloodstreams every week, knowing that the Blue Light Angles will make it all better at 'zero' cost to them. 6) Stop outsourcing every service to private companies. If they can do it cheaper than your own staff you've either compromised on service or you need to look at how you manage the service you should provide. " This. The NHS is excellent and should be better run in the public sector rather than farmed out and privatised by stealth as is currently happening. | |||

"Oh ffs. When not just type " I want Unisons bell end in my mouth" . The biggest thing holding back the delivery of world class health care in the UK are Trades unions - and that includes the BMA The ridiculous attitude to preventative health care that health care professionals have The fact that large sections of the population would rather get pissed and eat shite than look after themselves" Think you forgot the amount being spent on admin management staff and europeans entering the country entitled to use the service for free, Oh and outside eu members, who use the service (for free) when they come to uk as tourists (medical tourists) Lets be honest we have a good service which we pay NI for for so if it goes fully private there will be a deduction in Ni/tax..... | |||

It's honestly not gonna cause a drop in either tax or n.i. the government would find a way to keep you paying the same or get you to pay more, irrespective of which party is in power. Secondly, millions of brits holiday in Europe or move to Europe and avail themselves of the health care systems of europe. Medical tourism has already been stopped. Tourists have to pay. Even foreign students coming to live and study at British university paying exorbitant fees are having to pay. Plus, Britain isn't a leading spot for medical tourism under the nhs because the waiting lists are rather long. People go places like Canada and the u.s. if they want/need fast treatment. | |||
