As a percentage of GDP the NHS is 9 percent of the country's wealth expenditure. National Insurance pays for a lot.
the rest of europe in comparable countries are getting a further two percent on average. But we have capped it. So that's why the wheels are falling off - more privatization by the back door. Hamper it and then say it's not working.
France pays 11.7 percent Germany pays 11 percent Japan pays 10 percent Belgium pays 11 percent Austria pays 11 percent USA pays 17 percent? for what?
"That’s the standard technique of privatization: defund, make sure things don’t work, people get angry, you hand it over to private capital." Noam Chomsky.

Why blame this government for the state of the NHS when many of its funding problems stem from the PFIs set up by Labour?
This madness with the NHS trying to be a world health service is a big problem that needs addressing. It wouldn't be long before that situation changed if the NHS were privatised.

but I do not accept we need to privatise it..or at least not without protection for the poor
There has been a sustained attack on the poor and public service by this government which as a socialist I must disagree with
Although I admit my views do not always tally with the Labour party on this, immigration and other issues
I may be a red at heart but I try to be fair
I agree PFI was a mistake Dr Crippen...but I do not accept we need to privatise it..or at least not without protection for the poorThere has been a sustained attack on the poor and public service by this governmentwhich as a socialist I must disagree

Don't worry Doc, it soon will be with companies in Panama holding us to ransom every time we cough.
