The current state of affairs is threatening the future of humanity. If we can't change the current status quo, I really do not believe we can turn things around.
But we are the ones paying for those factory farms and when vegans stand Infront of them with placards , we give them very little support. In fact , we try our best to ignore them.
How can we hope to change anything when we're so unwilling to even talk about it ? The problem starts with us . What we will and won't tolerate is up to us .
Crapitlism. 🤡💩
This current late phase, neoliberal monopolistic capitalism is the deadliest disease mankind has ever faced! Apply the medicine and kill the superbug.
As an American healthcare worker we are all aware of the ridiculousness of how we aren’t suppose treat these people who we are treating not as patients but as customers. Our management is a joke.
So find another profession

@@joesmith8398 it is actually. I guess I would if it meant avoiding poison. Why do you think people are working from home more. I have had 2 DOCTORS resign because they are smart enough not to poison themselves.

As a US citizen, I dearly hope you in the UK can fight this. You do not want anything like our system. It is the stuff of nightmares. I was double insured with my old job. It was magically worse than having a single insurance, and the plans were through the same company. Again, you do not want this. It's worse than you can imagine.
Thanks to Bill GATES, Gates kelp saying that another virus was coming, & it would be much WORST THAN COVID-19, since Covid didn’t kill enough people throughout the WORLD! Suppose World Economic Forum is happy, since they want to reduce WORLD POPULATION DOWN TO 1 BILLION PEOPLE. At present the World Population is around 8 BILLION PEOPLE,
And liberalmarxists (neocommunists) are working their butts off in order to establish this system in EU as it seems, not only in UK.
@@anoniukas HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
@@TfiveR It's not funny at all. Of course, not for dudes, who are destroying our medicine system and are calling it as reformation for better medical help for people.
@@anoniukas WTAF are you even saying?? You sound like Rush with a concussion.
I had a doctor that was angry at me for not having filled his prescription for me. I told him I did not need it and had gotten well without it and that did not even matter to him. He wanted me to know he was mad about that and I had better do as he says in the future. I felt like he was saying now he is going to be getting into trouble because of that! This was one of those moments I questioned the system.
They get $$$ and travel trips as prescription bonuses from big pharma....
in the US they are monitored for better outcomes.
You were denying him his entitled profits. How dare you defy his orders. You better do as he says or he will report you to the proper authority. You will be recieving a knock on your door by the health police and escorted away in handcuffs.
This was years ago and I told him at the time that because I had to wait days to see him that I was already feeling better and did not think I needed the prescription at the time. I think now that had he listened to what I was saying at the time then he should not have even written it out in the first place because I told him I did not want it. Then later to be mad at me about not having gotten that script filled was like I was saying, the nerve of him for not being happy for me that I got better without the prescription that had probably bad side effects as they all do! I think Sarah is right! He probably did miss out on a trip or bonus because otherwise that reaction to seeing me again made no sense and the phrase that is pushed on us is to listen to your doctor but he did not listen to me in regards to how I was feeling so that makes no sense! I’m the one feeling it so I should know if I need it or not!
Then all the commercials that say ask your doctor if this could be right for you? I bet they are not allowed to turn down anyone who asks for a certain drug they see advertised as I’ve discovered at least one drug that doesn’t work at all for anything is being prescribed for many different things that are not even related except the drug being the only thing so it doesn’t get any more crazy than that just give them this then attitude with them knowing all along that it won’t do anything but create more problems! I don’t trust doctors anymore. I totally lost confidence in them and I am healthier for it I am absolutely sure of it! Especially after they attacked innocent people with the bio-weapon that they call by another name which does not actually meet our definitions of the word they have been using. They will all be tried for crimes against humanity that participated I do believe. I feel sorry for the families but wrong is wrong and justice is required to ensure nothing like this ever happens again! There were those strong individuals that did refuse to do that which they knew to be wrong. Those are our new heroes. We shall stand up and clap for the ones who are bringing the deep state down. Thank God for them and that we are still here to see this day! I had hoped almost my whole adult life that I would live to see the day and it overwhelms me even just thinking that it is almost here! Oh, I hope and pray that it is! I think we shall hear of this later on in this month! I’m crossing my fingers! I don’t want us to be enslaved. I want America to remain for future generations! I don’t like their New World order plan patterned after China! I think that is a terrible plan for us and all of our politicians that pledged allegiance to this plan should be arrested for treason. Anytime now, God. Hopefully our people will understand that these people broke our laws and deserve to be arrested so we won’t have riots or civil war. We don’t need that! We just need to be told the truth and get them out of power and then we start rebuilding our world. We need to become business owners to help each other as the big corporations that they owned will go down with them but we can do this! We are going to figure it out. We have to for each other and our children. Think G.D.P everyone! We can do it!

It breaks my heart to see the UK and some of the EU going down the same dark path as the US. What's it going to take to get this strangle hold that multinational companies have over the everyone's healthcare?
It's the same in Australia
Nothing. A small percentage of people of people hold all the power.
The end of multinational companies and monopolies.
But that requires the engagement and action of the majority of the citizens, which is not going to happen.
Revolution
An idea: play the conceit of libertarians. Make a law that requires all news outlets to provide their content in a structured machine parse-able format, then create a platform where each article can be scored against truth variables, then score each outlet on aggregate. Eventually tabloid readers will tire of being lied to, of they can be held to understand the cheap propaganda tricks tabloid owners use. Scoring news articles is not as hard as it sounds, because lying and bullshitting relies on people forgetting, and being distracted constantly. And let's face it, tabloid propaganda isn't very sophisticated, compacting lies with scantily clad women, football scores and hope stories about medical advances. Hoping that truth will win the day in an unregulated information landscape is naive.
I'm in the US and knew family members who chose to die rather than loose their home to healthcare costs. Many have been conditioned to expect to die of something trivial.
That's unfortunate... Cuz the law protects homesteads from that... There are tremendous protections from healthcare taking assets...
@@steevo101 no, they do not protect you from having to sell your home to pay for chemotherapy or other treatments or surgeries. Sell another one corporate shill.

Protect our public institutions from privatization
I live in Australia but trained as a registered nurse in London . I have been a nurse for over fifty years now and am still working. I have worked in England , New Zealand and Australia and have always held up the NHS as the epitome of what health care should be for all comers whatever their financial circumstances . I can't believe the state it is in now and am so very saddened by it. Put doctors , nurses and other health professionals back in charge and get rid of all the paper pushers and profiteers called administrators. Unless that happens the NHS is doomed.
Doomed because to many doctors are braindead sheep.
Thank you Sue, sending love and kind thoughts from liverpool uk. Thanks for speaking out
So very true, it is a disgrace, next election? Who should lead Great Britain….. we desperately need an empathetic prime minister and a drastic pruning of politicians, lords, and NHS administrators! Retired GP, now living in Norway.
Being an NHS administrator i have nothing to do with finance im involved with data administration of child care, Maybe dont tar everyone with the same brush there are plent of administrators for so many different tasks
It is so sad - the envy of the world not so long ago .The NHS is being slowly dismantled and parts of it hived off to private business and many people don't seem to realise this .Starved of cash for so long it has been made to look inefficient with huge waiting lists etc that people will initially look upon private healthcare as a saviour but just look at America !
Essential viewing. I'll fight tooth and nail to not have an abhorrent US style healthcare system in the UK.
How do you plan on fighting, Dom?
@@mattyc1294 by explaining it to the masses and rallying people like myself
It’s already happened and has happened to some parts of the NHS. It just hasn’t hit the user/public yet.
Well your approx 30 years behind. The privatisation of national medical care has been written up and perfected since the late 70s early 80s.
@@je6874 6 million waiting list - it’s already happened , stated happening many years back.
I now live in Spain and am shocked when I hear from relatives in the UK about their struggles to get treated in understaffed hospitals plus the appalling lack of care from dome GP practices. Others continue to give a good level of care but are struggling.
Privatisation would make a huge difference, but they need to lower the costs to make it more affordable for people unlike America. This is coming from a full time hospital porter like myself.
Having worked in the NHS for a few years what I have noticed is a lot of the Doctors and Consultants who travel from ward to ward do not wash their hands at the cleaning stations. This is why a lot of elderly patients who receive operations catch infections and die. Also why infections are rampant in the NHS and people end up suing it for lots of money.
When I was nursing we used to say they were obviously autoclaved at birth!!!

You are a good man Stephen. Thank you for putting your voice to this.
This makes me feel sick. So infuriating. I can’t bear watching this happen, but people just seem to let it slide on by. We’ve known this was happening for a long time now and nothing seems to stop it. We really need politicians who will stand up public and say enough is enough and put an end to it once and for all. It needs to get back into the hands of the doctors and the people who know what they’re doing. It’s a massive amount of untangling, but it’s so worth it. God forbid we should end up like America.
A reform is desperately needed
There's no public will for it, because there's no knowledge of it.
The labour party should be bloody shouting this out but aren't, may be they want it also.
@@nickynooable the entire system is a shambles to be honest. Almost like America's 2 party system but not quite. Garbage politics all around, and a lot of stuff going on behind the scenes
They seem incompetent but are always one step ahead. Legislation (effectively) banning protests means that whatever shred of concern the public has can’t be shared with others.
As an Australian, I am seeing our health care going down the same path as in the UK.
Ditto across the ditch too.. Scary stuff..
Steven Fry is one of them too - be scared, and get ready for your next jab. 😂 😂 😂
I lived and worked in the UK in the late 1990s and found the healthcare 'system' to be VERY good. (Some of the doctors were a very different story, unfortunately.)
My sister visited the UK in 2010.
Her husband needed urgent medical care while there.
As visitors who had never contributed 1 penny to the UK, they had nothing but praise for the 'system'.
They couldn't stop raving about the attentive service - "and it's all FREE".
Having worked and payed taxes for some 50 years, as retirees in Aus they can barely afford their medication.
Nor only health care. The universal education that was intended to rescue children from a poverty cycle has also been ripped apart. Ever since Bob Hawke started the rot. I am sure there are plenty of other public services that have become more expensive and less egalitarian while delivering poorer outcomes ever since "privatisation".
Australia has never had a truly free healthcare service in reality. Medicare is not the same as the NHS. Gotta ask, why wouldn't new anti-biotics be profitable? I'd say they would be worth a fortune. I heard that they can't find anymore.
I sure hope you get it back...I'm a chronically ill person that lives in US. I've been waiting for 2 months to get an echocardiogram and stress test. No one takes my insurance. I've just put it out of my mind. I've been sick all my life and have gotten poor healthcare even though most of my life I've had "excellent insurance" . I now am broke and on Medicare. It put me into bankruptcy. Go to the hospital (pre-covid) and you have a 5 hr plus wait just to get into the ER.
Don't let them take your NHS from you. It is a human right. If NHS is taken you will see how the US does everything. US healthcare is all profit motivated. Everything in US is profit motivated. They could care less about patients or the earth for that matter.
I wish you well... don't give up the fight!
It's not good here in Ireland as well if you open your mouth your a trouble maker THANK GOD I trust in GOD it's so depressing to be old in the world to day keep well every one
*Jail all officials working with the corporations. And the corporations too.*
I love this video, I love Stephen Fry, in the middle part about insurance is so true. Profits are privatized while losses are socialized, and bankruptcies are too under reported.
its a fucking AI voice over get a grip!
@@scotney33 is it, where do you get hold of AI version of Stephen Fry, would be cool to have little Stephen Fry in box order a round, the only ones I no of are the satnav version's but they are very limited to small list of letters?
This is clearly not Stephen Fry.
The NHS has been over managed for years, when I first started working along the NHS it was the clinicians who were in charge, not 'managers' whose last jobs had nothing to do with healthcare. It's our NHS and we MUST save it from corporate profit sharks.
What about saving our lives from the deadly super bugs ?
Losing our NHS would be terrible but health care won't save us from the super bugs anyway , so perhaps we should get our priorities in order and close those factory farms asap .
wasn't that a big part of what caused the collapse of the ussr , and other nations ? just the sheer burden of over-management , and the privileges they demand for themselves ?
We assume that the NHS is better than private groups but the issue is also they are picking up the same bad habits in the management teams.
A classic one is early retirement and working night shift just to get that final pension salary right up.
Or manager with no staff to manage.
@@dighyfveirfuveifbuv4420 One can walk and chew at the same time .
Besides I very much doubt UK citizens could have any bearing on "closing" those farms especially since Brexit agriculture is going under .
@@ingridschmid1709 I'm not sure what you're saying.
I spent 40 years working in US healthcare. For most of that time 1/3 of the population had no coverage, 1/3 had moderate coverage and 1/3 had good coverage. I worked part time in a clinic for low income people. After ACA, their care improved considerably here in California, but a lot of Red states and Trump blocked it wherever they could. Amusingly, a lot of them voted for Trump again in 2020 despite his taking away their healthcare. I have come to the conclusion that the best care in my area is from Kaiser, which in many ways resembles the NHS in that it owns all its facilities and staff are salaried.
You should strongly resist a US takeover of the NHS.
I have pre existing conditions and am slightly disabled. I work for myself. If I have to buy insurance , it’s known they won’t cover existing conditions . No NHS and I’m just waiting to pass. Over Xmas I was very sick and couldn’t get an ambulance. I had to wait days to get into my gp. It was a nurse practitioner and she argued about giving me antibiotics, prednisolone and anti sickness tablets . I have these each time I get a chest infection. I live alone . Slept almost 3 days and am still coughing like someone who smokes.
I have despaired for decades at the abuse of antibiotics, and many years about phages being effective but ignored. I have also despaired at the Covid response being heavily influenced by the profit motive. Doctors have been coerced to follow the narrative under threat of dismissal, and few have had the courage to stand up for the truth. If one good thing comes out of Covid, it will be an awakening of the public to demand that medical regulators become independent of the financial interests of big pharma and billionaires such as Gates.
i worked in research for several year helping to construct in vitro pathway to get streptomises antibioticus to make various andbiotics in usable abouts. they live in the soil and make antibiotics naturally, just not in large enough amounts to be used clinically..........papers went out to journals........then nothing happened, it was never taken up by any companies, cos it was too cheap.....
@@clairelouise4063 why they just don’t use pages to kill cancer n adis n all them viruses that antibiotics or immune system doesn’t work on?
@@trayl1365 Those are Viruses. Antibiotics work on Bacteria. Viruses are a whole other can of worms.
Cancer is a scam and a fraud on the people. You tube baking soda and molasses kills cancer. Alkaline the body kill cancer naturally.

Some things should NEVER be privatised. Health care is at the top of that list
Healthcare in the U.S. represent 6 Percent of GDP of the largest economy in the world and people want to turn control of that to politicians and bureaucrats ? That is truly insane. When was the last time they got something right?
Emily W. Your statement shows that you haven’t done your research on the efficacy of a privatized system over a governmental system. When has the government ever done a truly better job than the private sector over time?? Please read history!
@@Snappypantsdance actually youre both right. John is right because NOTHING in this country will work right until we end legalized corruption in our government. insider trading to all the kickbacks, an actual majority of congresspeople, govornors, lobbyists, state legislators, and a ton of other benefactors from decades of crooked actions need to be in chains before any govt programs will ever work for us the people and I mean that, we have set example generation after generation that they get away with this and no lawyer will ever work in our interests when they see a mill of legalized theft.
Next, Denise is right because as stated truthfully in this video, england ended up paying one US pharma exec the equivalent of 40,000 nurses salaries for one year, US health insurance providers make over 50 billion per quarter screwing the masses and they have used their media arm to make "left" and "right" fight eachother like fools. I lived in Japan and socialized medicine work, we are getting rekt by our healthcare racketeers, FDA, all the healthcare corporations, pfeizer crap, and we even fund the research they get to screw us on with a BS patent system.
But plainly put, nothing will work in this racket stricken country until we really stop the shameless racketeering and corruption and collusion which have made some have negative taxes to hurt us while good medicine is stopped at every level. Unfortunateley, no one thinks Joe Biden or Kamala Harris are remoteley the people to take that on and public confidence in all US institutions and even our dollar are collapsing and I think healthcare is the biggest culprit in this beast of a broken system.
other things that should not be privatized, but somehow are:
- prisons
- colleges / education

not yet: Police, but I'm sure therea re plans for that as well...
@@Snappypantsdance I think you are right. But at the same time, there's something very simple which many people are not thinking of and they seem to get caught in reactionary behavior.

Dear Stephen, Like many, I am an admirer of your thinking and also grateful for the entertainment you bring the planet. On this channel you again bring us sobering facts and great thinking, much of it pointing towards the need for paradigm change. If I may assume that your aim is to reach and influence an audience large enough to do your bit to effect this change, may I suggest you consider the enormous reach of those perpetuating the current paradigm - and how to increase your own. I realise this project is one brick in the wall of activities you somehow find the time to engage. But as long as the people who perpetuate the status quo, and continue to make it more questionable, maintain their massive share of voice, they will continue to exploit an equally massive share of mind that will delay or destroy the prospect of change.

@MelloWattz Just lightly study different medical problems. Four things that I have found out so far.
1.) You have what is called Collateral Circulation, and if you have a blockage forming, your body will use that circulation to build around it. But, you have to make lifestyle changes and get enough exercise.
2.) Drink a half gallon of water every single day throughout the day. While it doesn't thin your blood, it does enable your cells to function properly and can help flush toxins out. Personally, I think it does help make my blood more fluid, because after starting on water for over a month, I went in to get some blood work done, and when they pulled the needle out, my blood forcefully squirted everywhere and then they accused me of drinking. Yeah, water! Lol!

And just for a bit of context - I’m Scottish. The NHS Scotland is a separate entity to the NHS England and Wales. North of the border we don’t pay a penny for our healthcare, and unlike south of the border, our NHS is not up for grabs and can’t be touched by Westminsters corrupt government.

@Sar_Majere. These long waits are due to understaffing resulting from legislative (politics) issues that have just continued to get worse since since 1984. Healthcare providers on all levels have been and are continuing to get overly stressed while losing more and more control over the treatment of their patients. I think that COVID may just be the straw that breaks the medical provider's backs. We are continuing lose the people who are providers due to death from illness, PTSD, depression, suicides, loss of control issues, overworked, underpaid, loss of mental health time -> away from the job periodically every year. This can not continue without the entire system breaking down. Soon everyone's provider will be "Dr. Google A.I. Health" Care. Good luck with that !
@@WildWillieWiccan In the US, the understaffing is not at all legislative/political issues, it's entirely corporate capitalist bottom-line profitability issues. They purposely understaff at dangerous levels to reduce payroll expense and maximize profits. If a few patients end up dead as a result, it's no big deal as long as the hospitals are profitable.
The creeping privatisation began with the thatcher.
Private healthcare companies are also trying to do the same thing in Canada. The government has slowly started privatizing certain procedures. They’re listening to lobbyists instead of the people.
Thank you Mr Fry for the video , and to all who researched and made the information available. Petition signed.

Thank you for the really good vid
I worked for an organisation referenced in this video who provide NHS services. I can assure you, they do not focus on patient care. You do not want to be under a NHS GP practice run by private health care providers.
I had the misfortune to join several meetings where several questionable NHS staff and practice managers, who should know better, literally joked about focusing on prioritising NHS services that make the most money, while ignoring the ones that did not. It does not cross thier little minds that maybe one day they will need these services.
Disgusted, I formally provided an evidence based objection, only to be told not to concern myself with it as a clinician, and to focus on my work. Sadly, they lost several good medical staff because of similar conflicts. These organisations are full of pen pushers, bereft of a moral centre and are driven only by greed. I agree, stop the privatisation of the NHS and quickly.
The great thing about bacteriophages is that, unlike antibiotics which harm both good and bad bacteria, bacteriophages target specific bacteria like tiny, guided missiles. With the added benefit of mutating to adapt to newer mutations of the bacteria they hunt, it's a no brainer not to invest more research into this area of medicine which Europe has been doing for years now.
Can we devise a bacteriophage that can target Boris Johnson and his fellow con artists please

Each taxpayer in the UK pays roughly £5000+ a year for the NHS, it has been partially privatised already, If it becomes fully privatised, the government will still take the £5000 a year tax money out of our wages, even when we will be having to pay for private health insurance too!
The Government did the same with the banks, bailed out on public money and then sold and privatised.
Our Rail and energy also.
The enemy is within.
It was 2011 or 2012 when I read the "white paper" on the government's plans to fix the NHS. The paper as a whole wasn't bad but there were sentences here and there which were terrifying. Many NHS employees rang the alarming bells about this but basically nobody was listening. Once the floodgates were opened there is little you can do. You can't revert what was done and it's only going to get worse from there.
Working for the NHS used to be a privilege, people were proud wearing the blue lanyard and their ID attached to it. Soon this will be a thing of the past, if it already isn't.
Such an important video narrated by a treasured public figure. We just need to get the NHS onto a royal charter making it free from the whims of political buggery. Show this video to your friends, your family, your MP. Please get the word out.

Protect the NHS at all costs you really don't wanna end up like us
I believe that this is the wrong message. NHS should be protecting people. It is a convenient mantra of those who worked hard over decades to demolish the healthcare system in UK.
As usual, incredibly informative and incredibly upsetting.
The implications of this profit over care approach to public health practise, administration and financial planning are terrifying. Speaking as someone who grew up thinking advances in medical science and technology would inevitably improve the human condition it is truly horrifying to consider how these developments will be squandered.
Profit led corporate intereference in our systems of public health provision render them flawed, open to abuse and hugely unfair.
Petition signed.
You need profit and care balanced. Resources aren't infinite, profit was intended as an incentive for resource distribution efficiency. Focus too much on profit or care and you have bad things happen. A life is not worth infinite resources, because we don't have infinite resources
@@james3876 I wonder if you would still feel that way if were you, or someone you loved, who was having critical care witheld because of financial constraints.
I believe that health care should be free at the point of need, as those who created the NHS intended. Of course that doesn't mean that private health care shouldn't exist or that private health insurance shouldn't be available to those who can afford it. But that should not be at the expense of those who can not. Nor should it result in an inferior service or limuted resources being offered to those who can not afford private care. National Health Contributiions should guarantee a full and unfettered health service and the institutions that provide it should not be run for profit. Especially if those profits are taken out of the sytem to create wealth for those who run corporations and the wealthy individuals who own shares in them.
I'm not suggesting that resources are unlimited, just that they should be administered and offered fairly and efficiently, without the pusuit of profit for the good of society. Of course I think that those resources should be owned by the state and that the state should administer them on behalf of the public. I don't think they should be sold for profit, particularly not when people spend their entire working lives financially contributing to them via National Health Contributions.
Good health care should not be the privilege of the wealthy.
@@james3876 healthcare should not be about making money whatsoever!
@James, I'm glad that you agree that your life is worth extremely finite resources.
I second that feeling.
The only winners with private health insurance are the providers/insurance companies. WHERE are the taxes going? USED to be to Public Health!
Man...this is spot on!!!!! Thank you!
I have always been worried about what the Tories have done to rid the UK of the NHS, that includes Thatchers "Greatest political achievement? That would be New Labour." That is a direct quotation.
SAVE OUR NHS!
Blair, Campbell and Mandelson are the primary culprits!
Your looking in the wrong direction. It’s not the gov it’s private investors and corporations managing the budgets.
@@41mullerd exactly, the US doesn't have a better health service, it just has lots of private companies making loads of unnecessary "health" operations, why else would there be so many circumcision operations, to what benefit to individuals exactly? None, but, it is a quick process that makes the insurance companies rich.
I'd strongly advise to sign this petition!
Get the NHS back on the track, like it was before the privatization started.
Despite Germany still looking very good in handling illness, their system has become "America light"; same flaws, same "solutions" which make the situation even worse, but not yet at the level of America.
They a characteristic of their system is also the categorization of patients and illnesses. It introduced a lot of costs because you need people categorizing patients.
All in all if you have a health care system that runs in a cost covering scheme, leave it that way. History so far showed it is the most humane system we have so far. And make sure it is as transparent as possible, so it is possible for the people to understand the costs that are intrinsic to the health system. That way it is easier to make the system more efficient and to make it stable because no rich investor can come along and say "I can do this better!" In an argument he would have to very precisely show where and how one can save money instead of just empty promises.
Edit: spelling
Also if you speak German, you can give the following video a watch to understand the current situation in Germany: Der Dunkle Parabelritter, Die Pflegekatastrophe.
Thank you,
You are appreciated.
The same direction is constantly pushed in Finland, year after year more and more push comes from the private sector/conservative wing trying to change the system more like the US "healthcare" system. The universal system still has held the head above the water but every year budgets are cut while private sector gets more attention, lenient laws or outright subsidies.
Bit by bit, step by step, one of the best health care systems is being dismantled in the favour for already proven failed US system.
Lower quality healthcare should'nt be incentive for increased profits. Capitalism and high quality healthcare are not compatible in our present societies and prioritizing profits over human life is something so vile and evil that it should be outright outlawed globally.
edit. typo
Dutch person here. A huge number of the COVID deaths here are a direct result of the privatization. We used to have one of the best healthcare systems in the world, in a period of twenty years of rightwing rule now people with cancer are getting a message 'sorry we don't have room in the hospital' and they just let them die! Even in the last years they have been massively reducing hospital beds with thousands of deaths as a result. So yeah, let's go back to public healthcare pls and lock up for life the people responsible for this.

The petitions don't work, and often get cancelled by the government. Waste of time.
Because the idea of universal healthcare free at the point of use is a bad one. The conversation we should be openly having as a society is who deserves medical treatment when they cannot afford it. Otherwise we get the fake refugees, the illegals, the criminal, and the feckless underclass on benefits who do not contribute towards society becoming free riders. When you have a group of productive people who agree to pay a percentage of their earnings to fund a a system that one day in the future they might use, that is the same concept as an insurance fund. So we should dispense with any illusions otherwise.
@@iamthe1234567890 And you are completely out of touch with reality. I, for one, are one of these "feckless underclass" that you speak of. I fought for my country and lost a lot. Does this make me unworthy of medical treatment for free as I have paid my dues for 35 years? What about people that are on benefits through mental illness, you can't see it, but does what then make it less of an illness? You can't paint everyone with the same black and white brush and nor should you.
@@mrcbeee well you're a veteran, so obviously that doesn't apply to you does it. The feckless underclass is like single teenage mothers on sink estates who clocks that opening her legs and shitting out a baby every 2 years guarantees her a council house and meal ticket for life. She'll be a shit mother too, perpetuating the wretched cycle. Or the young lads with asbos by the time they're 12, putting out your car windows and shoving shit through your letter box. They'll graduate to burglary, robbery, gbh and worse. People like that will never contribute to society, lost causes who only presents a problem to be contained because people aren't allowed to eradicate them, either through stand your ground laws, or gradual policies to discourage them to breed so much.

I recently had a doctor tell me to stop taking a pain medication because of the long term harm it may do to my kidneys. A procedure that might help was identified, but I was told there was no way insurance would sign off on it because its not life threatening. If you can work, you're fine. When I asked what to do about pain, the doctor said "pain is your problem" and refilled my script. I only take it if i need it to get through at work, so it's for a good cause, right? I can barely afford to go at all.... why bother? I have a 66hr workweek, pay $500 dollars a month and $1000 in uncovered expenses for 3 visits to get absolutely nowhere. They will only prescribe blood pressure meds one month at a time, so I have to keep going back like an addict, even though my needs aren't likely to change month to month. The only thing health insurance is really good for is emergencies. I don't want to go back at all. I guess I'm just going to work until I die and be done with it. Maybe the life insurance will help the kids with college. 🇺🇸. USA, baby! Die: It's the only financially responsible thing to do.

Let's see now. In the UK they privatised water because; well the government of the day didn't have any other ideas, or foresight; so why not; and look at the UK today, a water infrastructure system that hasn't been updated since it was sold off thirty years ago; and raw sewage being dumped into the rivers and oceans. When it finally fails; the Government; ie; the taxpayer will be forced to step in, in an attempt to save it. And it may be beyond saving. The NHS has been underfunded for the last 12 years; and sold of piece by piece. Eventually the tories will announce that the only way to save it is to sell it off completely, to US insurance companies. And then the UK will be like the USA. It will NOT have a HEALTH CARE SYSTEM; it'll have a HEALTH INSURANCE SYSTEM. The first provides care the second works out reasons to deny it, and if it cannot it will bankrupt you slowly with "co-pays".
