Right wing policies have brought the literal shit show of water privatisation, as well as rail privatisation, gas and electricity privatisation, British Telecom is fighting for it's life, Royal Mail and the Post Offices are not doing brilliantly, British Steel no longer exists in any meaningful form, British coal is still in the ground, but is no longer economically viable and a huge portion of our society is reliant on charities, volunteers and good will
Foreign companies and governments own shares in transport firms - We, the tax payers are subsidising other governments through grants to the rail franchisees and bus companies
Our politicians are so stupid and inept, with corruption, cronyism and nepotism so rife and insidious that many important decisions about healthcare cannot be left in their hands any more
For those stating the NHS to be scrapped, Reform and to an extent the Conservatives, are looking to American insurance and health companies for policies
They have met and continue to meet with representatives from the organisations behind the current Trump presidency and have made speeches and given and received significant gifts and donations
Americans are dying and in increasingly poor health because Medicaid had been gutted and the drugs they need to survive are unaffordable
Medical debt is the single most commonly cited reason for bankruptcy over there
Our career politicians are so catastrophically bad, so self serving and short sighted, that even well meaning changes to our health systems will guarantee confusion, more damage and disenfranchisement
The NHS is flawed, yes.
The American insurance system is demonic by comparison
