💯 it’s a cautionary tale: Britain must improve the NHS and resist going down the US-style health insurance route

As bad as it may be, you don’t wanna end up like us with a private medical system

Sadly true. Unfortunately the NHS has been run down during the course of 14 years of the previous governing party.

The NHS came about because of the threat of communism. Stalin said he didn’t need to go to war with the west, their own people would rise up and overthrow them. Thats a driving force behind how the UK got the NHS fear of the people

Ahh.... no. The NHS actually came about because of Aneurin Bevan's belief that sickness was a disease of poverty. If you could get the poor well enough to hold down a job, they could put food on the table, keep themselves warm and stay fit. The need for the NHS would die out in a few years....

"a senior health industry executive"
This is an incorrect statement. These guys are not part of, nor do they have anything remotely to do with the healthcare industry.
They are a money laundering organization that filters money from the masses to the wealthy.
They provide no service or product.

what do you expect from 'murica?

mayhem1994.bsky.social•122 days ago

People celebrated because the guy and the health insurance system makes money by praying on sick and dying people when they’re most vulnerable

Why? If you have to ask you are tone deaf to the suffering of millions. Why has it taken this long?
