Definitely not this country needs the NHS it needs reform but not scrapping ❤ but the government wants it gone this has been their aim for a long time 😢people will die if we have to pay because we won't be able to afford it
Agreed with you completely for the most part! Would say that we can definitely pay for it, this country is dripping with money, just has to be directed in the right fashion. London has never been richer, also never more unequal in modern times, it's all about distribution :)
@@TheLukeLambert totally agree, what I mean with the bit about not being able to afford it is if individual people end up having to fund their own private healthcare
Try living in the US and you will see health insurance does not increase choice for most; 'plans' available via your employer offer only limited 'coverage' negotiated with the employer - only certain doctors and hospitals (you have to call around desperately asking if they will take your insurance). Even with insurance you still pay out of pocket. One quick visit to the emergency room could be 3,000 USD easily or far more, even with insurance for most. And shockingly, the lower paid with worse jobs (e.g. those not in corporate work, maybe earning under 100k per year salary) will receive the worst 'coverage' in their 'plans.' Get your wallet ready and be prepared to give up your house to live. The number one reason for bankruptcy in the US... healthcare costs.
It was a really good debate said Kate so why rush it and cut people short? Oh I know why, this 3 and half hour show can’t spear another 5 minutes, but can have hours of completions and andi friggen peters. This is why traditional media is dying
No without the NHS I wouldn’t be here in the next week I’m due to have surgery on the NHS from a top surgeon I dread to think how much I’d have to pay privately. With an insurance system how are people with existing medical conditions going to access the care
I think it should be similar to Germany. Where great private (cheaper than most is available for those who work and can afford it) but also those who can't afford it and need help have free health care. It'll be the same Dr's, hospitals etc.
@tintin If it's the same hospitals, same doctors etc, what is the difference? Faster service, less time spent on consultation? There has to be a difference or why would people choose to pay? My guess is that the rich get a better service, the poor an inferior one. Is that how UK wants health care to be administered? The wealthy are treated better, the poor are given 2nd class treatment?
@@barbarajones9385 oh no, it's not like that. If you work your work pay towards your health insurance, if you're self employed you pay for it, and if you not working, have a disability the goverment then pay for it. It sounds similar to what we do, but more money is given. Everyone is treated equally, we have to stop blaming the rich for things. You do, like here have the choice to pay private healthcare.
@MW How would you be richer if everyone pays both taxes and insurance? What's to stop insurance companies increasing their prices until they reach American heights? What about people without sufficient income to buy insurance?
Trusting insurance companies is considerably more risky than trusting a government. Insurance companies exist to bolster their bottom lines at all costs. Watch all kinds of drugs and procedures stop being covered.
We all get that the NHS is struggling for many reasons. What doesn't help are discussions based on only 30% of the population think. All of whom are able to pay for private health care. I've gone private for my mental health and let me tell you I wish I just waited on the NHS because the private company I used closed due to financial issues. Private is way less secure, I want our NHS to do well and allow the amazing people within it who do save and help people's lives.
@robert For taxpayers and citizens. Society as a whole is better off with a healthy population. This might involve some people getting something free but overall it is a good long-term investment. The NHS has been badly neglected but the model itself is viable.
That Dr is arguing for the NHS like someone arguing for communism... If only it was done right!. If only we had more bed, if only we had more hospitals etc. The system of the NHS is the reason for limited beds and infrastructure. Maybe the reason these other countries have more, is because the other systems work.
The lie here which people need to wise up to is we aren't allowed to train more doctors because the BMA have completely blocked that at every turn and limited the numbers. The reason is simple, less doctors, more money per doctor. It's disgusting
The European health care is far superior to ours and we should now reform our heath care and go in their direction.Most of us are very sick of being let down by an overstretched NHS which forever cries lack of money while there is a proliferation of managers on high salaries.The present NHS model is not fit for purpose.
The NHS should be scrapped along with the Civil Servants being reduced significantly, Paying a high rate of tax for no benefit & improvement to public services. I'd rather have a lower rate of tax & pay to use private hospitals
2:43 Alex Phillips was a Brexit Party (Now Reform) MEP so she got the insurance paid for her by the tax payer on top of her salary. She is a Brexiteer whose entire grift caused a mass exodus of NHS staff and made skilled EU citizens no longer want to come and work in it.

The main issue here is investment, we as a nation the UK do not get enough investment compared to other countries, we have a so called ' *Rentier Capitalism* ' Model which focuses on investing in properties for personal gain rather than in businesses and in the state... If the FTSE returns were as high as the S&P 500 I Guarantee you that our economy will change from gloomy to Insanely good overnight.... I know this might not be a popular take at all, but I think if Investment was restricted to other countries through the form of a stocks and shares isa which in its current form applies to all stocks and all shares ----> to be changed to a stocks and shares ISA which can only be applied to a FTSE index, Guarantee this will deliver the same results (assuming people dont buy more properties instead)
Nhs has lots of problem but its still one of the precious thing we have. We have a patient who has been in hospital for a month despite of being medically fit cause his wife is on holiday. Where on earth would people get facilities like that lol😂
There's 33 million people working in the UK. The average salary is 34k. If we take £20 quid a month from everyone that's £660,000,000. Don't take it every month. Maybe every 3 months. Then they get refunded sporadically in groups. 4% earn over 100k maybe take £50 from them. That'll generate a bit of doe to do some stuff.
For someone who hates the EU with a passion certainty bangs on about how she feels EU countries have a better health care system then Britain. Maybe Jess Phillips shouldn't have been so hasty in pushing for the UK to leave the EU then she'd have a better argument.
Why would you, yet again they’re hitting the poorest people. We also pay national insurance so why should you scrap it. It needs help not getting rid of it. Do not understand the logic behind this nonsense.
One of the problems with the NHS is the amount of money being wasted. Paying over £100 for a packet of paracetamol which you can get in Boots for under £1.
Why would you want to scrap the NHS ? Really!
Because it’s a failing model that’s haemorrhaging money
Because it’s diabolical

I can tell you the NHS isn't the best.
It has worst outcomes than comparable countries.
