I think the neoliberal plan is to make the NHS so overworked and underfunded that people stop supporting it, then push private healthcare as the solution and scrap the NHS for a model similar to the US's. Then they can claim that this privatisation is boosting the economy by manipulating data when in actuality all it is doing is giving the rich more wealth from the poor.

this is genuinely so fucking absurd and crazy to me fym you cancelled the operations are you fucking evil. wall?

This is why healthcare shouldn't be treated as a business.

Oh boy things are going to get fun when the NHS is fully privatised.

UK proving itself as the canary in the coal mine for the west's future since 2008.

They told the BBC: "I had a full day of joint surgery planned this week and patients were just told a few weeks before that their life-changing operations would not be taking place.

"Many of them had been waiting over 40 weeks for treatment. It's devastating for them."

That's... 10 months, no? Nearly a year only to have it canceled.

huh

Can't wait for Trans Britons to leave en masse to Scandinavia and Spain.

This is so evil, I don’t understand how they get away with it.

Oh boy. I can't wait for people who bray about public health being a failure while ignoring steady defunding over decades. I'm really sorry, my friend.

I'm very lucky to be able to get my hands on a few healing roots, stems, and leaves. My neighbor's sibling was able to acquire a needed medicine that was on private property, for me, as well as other more freely available medicinal plants, and even brewed it up into a tea so all I had to do is heat it up and drink it. If I lived in town, I would still be wrecked. But with your health conditions, so much would probably be contraindicated.
