Uh-oh!
Here’s a recent article on the Conservative Home website by former cabinet minister and leading Brexit campaigner Owen Paterson calling for an end to the NHS:
It’s time for the Government to face up to the grim truth. The NHS simply isn’t fit for purpose.
Not surprising, as before the Brexit referendum leading Brexiters had already made clear their desire to sell off the NHS to privately owned corporations.
But now after the referendum result, senior Brexit supporters in the Tory Party are openly calling for the end of the NHS.
Incidentally, Paterson is in the pay of a private healthcare company called Randox Laboratories, which is paying him £4,166 a month for 8 hours work:
Be afraid.
Brexit will make it easier for private US firms to buy out NHS services …

I have been saying this for a few years now but the people I speak to are in denial. If they don’t wake up soon they will be dying in the streets for wat of the right health insurance card.

What was the main propaganda for Briexit? Was it not £35 million a week for the NHS. Has the government has lost their marbles. Why not didn’t they say vote Brixexit for sell off NHS.

My postman, really, lol said a few years ago that the NHS is slowly being run down so that the only alternative would be to sell it off. That is now happening.

Believe it or not people this is happening across every board. HMRC is also trial running a private sector company to deal with calls and they already use a company to deal with the files and printing. I just wonder how long before a company makes a Robocop for police.

Anyone who wishes to replace the NHS with private health care should take a close look at the American system- which President Obama made valiant efforts to reform. It is probably the most inefficient and costly health care system in the world, riddled with practitioners who make Dicken’s Sarry Gamp look like a kind-hearted philanthropist. Only the extremely rich can afford full health protection and chronic illness is often the first step into total penury for many families.
What it does guarantee is a comfortable, well remunerated career for insurance fund managers, business executives and the lawyers who pick up the booming business in negligence claims. A ‘health care’ system it is not – it represents the worst aspects of American corporate strategy – a junk product sold to a gullible public by spin, hype and barely concealed greed.
So the Tories can barely conceal their ‘brown envelope’ ambitions, desperate to get their snouts into the beckoning trough of easy money.
No doubt the ordinary front line worker in the American system is as poorly rewarded as those in our NHS, working very long hours for little reward, terrified that if their health fails, they, like so many others will become victims of the malicious greed of those who ‘manage’ the system, purely for their own benefit with absolutely no regard for those who become their victims.
When Dickens wrote ‘Martin Chuzzlewit’ in 1842, partly in revenge for the bare faced theft (the American way) of his copyright, the book bcame a very effective polemic against ‘Chuzzlewiteers’, not only in America but in England as well. The Chuzzlewits are an English family of light fingered parasites always with their eyes fixed on the main chance, certain that they can ‘get away with it’. As certain ex-tory ministers show, the miserable spirit of the Chuzzlewit family lives on in our society. The Tory party should adopt the Chuzzlewits as their party icon, so fully do the wretched ambitions of that family fit with their expressed persona, in both word and deed. There is but the thickness of a slip of paper between the a Chuzzlewiteer and a Brexiteer – what fun Dickens would have with them if he returned today!

NHS privatisation was started by the Tories under John Major, then massively and enthusiastically expanded by Labour under Blair and Brown. The Tories are in the process of finishing the job now. Tom Pride blaming this wholly on the Tories is ridiculously naive and entirely misses the point . It’s not a party political issue, it’s a political establishment issue.

Don’t like the sound of THIS!! :-[ But a bit exaggerated, surely…? The Tories have no mandate for this *and never have and never will*: that is why they have to keep the NHS or face riots and revolution! But aren’t all the main parties, as someone said, just all after privatizing it by the back door: “public-private partnerships”, but not at the point of use?
As Campbell said though, “it’s a political establishment issue, not a party political one”. And I think we need to get neoliberalism out of mainstream politics. Evillest cult ever!

The Tories don’t need a mandate to privatise the NHS, they’ve privatised everthing else without one. You are right to say get rid of neoliberalism but only Jeremy Corby is offering anything else and he’s busy fighting the purple Tories in his own party. We need the people to get behind the idea of a Sovereign money system and take the debt creation out of new money.
