The NHS, which over the past Years has become the World Health Service,
is in for a Massive Shake Up, You had better have Private Health Cover, if you are ill, you wont get to a Pensionable Age, and make sure you leave £5000 for Funeral costs  |

By:
£5000? Are they planning to put you out with the bins, Sid?
The NHS was abandoned a long time ago. Those of us who can afford healthcare will wave at the toothless, despairing middle and low income dying as we sweep past the hospital steps on the way to our treatment suites and wonder why they haven't hosed the poor and the sick off the streets in this part of town. Good luck :) |

orioles is right, another failed human experiment of the left that forcibly confiscated the working person's tax dollar to p1ss against a wall they knew wouldn't exist when the time came to pay the ferryman.
why oh why did we not heed the fateful warning of chris de burgh |

Too many chiefs over-ruling too few injuns. ... and too many feckin immigrants! |

People do love to be dramatic dont they. The NHS isnt perfect and will continue to struggle with growing costs but not much will change in the next 5 years.

Apathy, the great friend of the NHS.

The NHS funding was previously ringfenced, which is why any other cuts were dispropoprtiante.
And I love the NHS. My severe mis-spelling of that last word just threw my spine  . |
|
By:
Everytime I've used the NHS the service has been first rate.
Most of the people who complain about it relate to old people who should just die gracefully and stop demanding £20k per month treatments |
|
By:
you mean the old people who funded the nhs?
|
|
By:
On their minimum wage jobs. The bankers fund the nhs
My gran retired in her 40s with medical conditions. She's now fast approaching 90 in a home and on about million pills a da. All paid for by the tax man. |

Precisely Zasu, the idea that everyone should be sent statements showing their net contribution is a good one.

Ok, got it. So you're anti NHS but pro eugenics. There's a nationalist socialist party up north that would suit you.

that's called private health insurance |

Who you on about? I'm Pro NHS.
Just not a hysterical child about it, I'm a realist. |
|
By:
You're probably pro state education, which explains a lot.
|
|
By:
And my point about statements was that the level where people become net contributors is higher than most people think, and then, if you spend 30 years at the end of your life costing barrowloads, well the money has to come frm somewhere.
I don't have private health insurance. Oh I just read your next reply, you're one of those sad left wing tw&ts who projects a million prejudices on other people. I'll stop wasting my time trying to speak sense to you. |
|
By:
The nhs spunks away billions.
However, I think most people agree with it I quite like the fact I know if I'm in an accident the nhs will come and pick me up and then fix me |

The state of the NHS depends on the state of the economy.
Labour do not have a good record on the economy, and for that reason the NHS is in safer hands under the Tories. Under the Tories there'll still be a NHS when you need it. Under labour who knows? Their immensely expensive and wasteful PFIs more or less shows their incompetence at finances that concern the NHS. I wouldn't trust them to run a street market after their last run in office. |

lower wages means lower ni contributions so yeah your right in a way....this is defo gonna affect the nhs. also such a move lowered tax collected. really clever |
|
By:
Anyone that voted CONs should not be allowed NHS treatment and should be given lower priority over people that didnt vote CONs, and they shoulnt be allowed to protest over public service cuts and nhs going downhill
|

By:
May I take this opportunity to offer my sincere condolences to the NHS, R.I.P.
|
|
By:
coverage here i got quoted 120 without even putting my conditions in.
abroad 40 euros with the conditions in. now you know why the tories want to privatise it  |

i would make it a jailable offence for any mp to hold shares in any company they have any chance of influencing....but then again they dont jail mps for expense fiddling....

Er, not allowed treatment AND given lower priority? But pretending for a moment you're coherent, that's fair and reasonable comment. obviously they'd have to be refunded their past contributions, which they could then pay into private health insurance, along with any future contributions. This would leave non CON voters to fully fund the NHS. Good luck. |

Everytime I walk into a doctors or hospital it's full of old people.
Care homes are the best part of £1k a week That's before they even get NHS treatment For what? to sleep 23hrs a day then eat biscuits and whinge for the hour they're awake!! But I don't complain because I know stupidly rich people are paying lots of tax which pays for it. |
