NHS must reform or die, PM warns, after critical report
People have "every right to be angry", Sir Keir Starmer to say, as review criticises state of the health service in England.
Finally we got rid of the party who want to dismantle the NHS to profit their wealthy donors!
"Raise taxes on working people or reform to secure [the NHS'] future. We know working people can’t afford to pay more, so it is reform or die."
Alexa, show me a false dichotomy.
It's amazing how the their report names austerity as the culprit of the NHS' waning condition, but Streeting's solution seems to just change where money is allocated. The UK spends significantly less on Health compared to other developed countries, is it really surprising that our results would be significantly worse?
Yes, has anyone considered taxing corporations and the rich?
The last guy to suggest something like that got branded an antisemitic commie and was kicked out of the party.
We can't do that! We'd lose the House of Lords! Think of the history! Think of their children's mega yauts and private schools!
I live in the US (granted I watch a lot of UK content) and even my first reaction at reading the headline was along the lines of "then fucking pay/fund them instead of setting them up to fail!"
I'm guessing by "reform" they mean taking the whole thing private? What is it with these ghouls having such a hard on for the us
so, uh. it must die or die? that's the choice?
I mean what else is supposed to be the outcome of decades of defunding social services? There is no choice (for you or me)
Cake was never an option.
Ah, still trying to kill off the NHS I see, this has been their plan all along. Make it worse and worse so they can kill it off and sell healthcare to their friends so that the poorest die off.
That was the old government. We had an election recently and now we have the other party in charge who...
checks notes
... are continuing to do the same thing as the old government while blaming them for it.
My hope is that the reform is in the form of more early intervention at a community level (which is kinda what we had before the Great Gutting over the last decade).
Though going by the mood in this thread, I should be emigrating to Sweden...
The beast has been proclaimed starved.
I'm sure nobody saw that coming.
Can you already drown it in a bathtub?
