Starmer deepens NHS privatisation. Can increase NHS capacity by buying private hospitals. Plan won't generate new health staff. Private sector will poach NHS staff. NHS to be a shell, doling out contracts to private sector. 30%-40% money will vanish in profits. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Despite what politicians say, in my experience NHS patients aren’t bothered about ‘choosing their healthcare provider’. They just want their local NHS hospital to function properly. But guess who loves it? Private companies seeking to infiltrate the NHS🚨 …

FTSE 100 CEO gets more in less than 3 days than average worker pay for a yr. Median CEO pay £4.22m, 113 times average worker. Nothing to do with performance. Shareholder objections ignored. Need worker-elected directors on boards. Let workers vote on exec pay. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

At its peak in the 1980's the US Mafia was making between $50-90bn a year. In 2023 the Health Insurance Companies made $88bn in profits, and this was after tens or hundreds of billions in bonuses, CEO wages, and share buybacks. All for simply denying people care.

I’m hearing from a lot of Americans right now, who are telling me we should fight to preserve the NHS. Which we know, right? We’re going to have to fight for it, because corporate interests and think tanks and politicians are dismantling it right now 🚨

Nigel Farage is owned by Elon Musk, and Elon Musk is interested in the UK because he can privatise our healthcare and make $800bn a year profit. That is double his current net worth, every year. Nigel Farage is the most sold out, corrupt puppet of the lot.

This article is about “NHS in-sourcing”-private companies are allowed to take on NHS work by using NHS facilities+NHS equipment+ often hire NHS staff in their time off. It should not happen-Starmer should end privatisation, pay NHS staff properly for working for the NHS & stop punitive tax rules!🚨

The fact is that the USA spends 3x more per person on Healthcare than any other country on the planet. Yet it doesn't have best healthcare. It has the worst in the developed world, and that is because Health Insurance companies and Big Pharma are stealing all your money.

The USA spends $4tn on Healthcare. The Health Insurance companies made $1.39tn in profit last year. That is 35% of your Health Insurance payments poured straight into their pockets.

PFI blighted public purse/services. Govt guaranteed corporate profits. Example: private sector invested £40m in the NHS, repayment £1.1bn, less spent on healthcare. Cheaper for the govt to borrow, can do QE for public services. Streeting wants more PFI. SAY NO. weownit.org.uk/tell-wes-str...
