And the prupose of the underfunding is to create the conditions on which to sell a fully privatized healthcare system to the population.
Yep, and sadly to many it works really well. There are plenty of people in the UK that believe that we should just tear it down and put a private sector in to fund itself. Most of them are blissfully unaware that they earn below the average threshold, and with cost of living being what it is here, they would be absolutely fucked should they need treatment.
I'd say it's funny how Americans love some European approaches to healthcare, while some European countries have bought into the US system as an option - but it's frankly upsetting that people would turn their back on nationalised healthcare because some right-wing cunts want to underfund it...
