Tory NHS privatisation plan is a sneaky, piecemeal sell-off rather than admitting their true intentions
Death by a thousand tiny sell-offs should be a wake-up call for anyone who doubts that National Health Service privatisation is a grim reality.
Alarm bells ring truer when even the British Medical Association – the doctors’ club that originally opposed the creation of the NHS – warns that Tory free market ideology puts patient care in peril.
Everything’s up for grabs from cancer treatment to children’s services and entire hospitals in the Tory sale.
The BMA calculation that a third of 3,494 contracts in England already put up for grabs were privatised is sickening if, sadly, no surprise.
The butchery is happening now and gathering pace so everybody who loves the NHS should stand up for what we adore, or it’ll be too late.
David Cameron and George Osborne are many things but they aren’t intentionally stupid.
The real perniciousness of their vile Health and Social Care Act is that it sidesteps an Apocalyptic confrontation by slyly selling off the NHS chunk by profitable chunk – instead of in one go like water or coal in the past.
Tories hope their donors will have purchased the body before the patient wakes up and notices some of its limbs are missing.
