Keep the NHS as a publicly-owned body, free at point of delivery

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Large parts of the NHS have already been privatised for private gain rather than public benefit. To involve it in a US trade deal would destroy it, along with the lives of many thousands of people, and implies that only the wealthy deserve health or life.
