The public value their current service and don’t want it damaged

The public value their current service and don’t want it damaged
There is no escaping the fact that despite his protestations our “leader” is clearly intent on the radical reform of OUR service into some sort of clone of the failed system in the USA famed for its ability to enrich service providers and corporate “insurance” companies whilst losing contact with service users.
There is clear evidence from the USA,its health systems ability to bankrupt people.
The destruction of the NHS has already started it can’t be allowed to continue or people will DIE.
