US comes up when it comes to privatization damage yeah. The NHS is already using private in the way other public healthcare systems do, this isn’t going to make it better. Every single healthcate system is hurt by privatization.
It’s also why the private sector heavily invests in these politicians, it’s not to help the NHS
No, the US comes up anytime someone mentions reforming the NHS in any way.
The Netherlands is the best example of private healthcare working well, whilst being affordable. They have universal healthcare paid for through mandatory health insurance that all citizens must pay (unless you’re not able to because of unemployment etc), and all the providers are not-for-profit entities. It always ranks highly on world rankings for healthcare.
And that’s not what is being proposed here. What is being proposed is to move towards the US model of delegating the work at a markup, while doing nothing to actually increase capacity or fix the NHS. It’s also what conservatives are trying to do in Canada. If only it were like these other systems you mention, but it’s not.
Funding has only gone down for NHS, and up for private care in the past and it has only made things worse.

I didn’t say that was what was being proposed here. It never would be proposed here because of all the scaremongering about the word “private”.
Despite all the evidence to show that the government couldn’t run a bath, apparently they’re still the best to run a healthcare system.
