I not long ago had a very close friend diagnosed with terminal cancer aged 39. Despite the NHS telling him there was little they could do they put him through several courses of chemo to shrink the tumour to prolong his life, it won't be a massive amount but it was the right and humane thing to do.
It's been nailed above but the tories are vile for starting now to turn on the NHS, same as they do with everything else they turn people against each other so they can eventually get their own way and profit business before the people.
Aneurin Bevan is one of my heroes, for all his toil he deserves better than these Eton born and bred bells dismantling one of Britain's greatest 20th century achievements. Something designed to benefit everyone, not just those who have money. You can't put a price on someone's health. Thankfully for the most part we don't in this country.
Turn on most American TV and you'll get bombarded with adverts for every drug under the sun. It's big business but they're companies who have shareholders to appease. Health and wellbeing should be in the hands of the people, by electorate, rather than these corporations.
I know from a few on here who have friends and family working in the NHS the struggles it sometimes encounters, my sister works in the NHS too so I'm not fed some idealistic fairy tale view of it. But it was born out of social freedoms we won at the end of a brutal World War.
It's worth protecting, not as the tories tell you.
