The NHS is already the most cost effective way to provide health care to the population, compare us across the world and the NHS delivers value for money and high quality healthcare for all regardless of ability to pay. The nearest competitor is Sweden who also has a similar government funded system.
Can we stop presuming the NHS is a bloated black hole for cash and start realising that it's the anti public-anything ideology of this governments that is promoting the myth of an overpriced health service? You want private healthcare? Seriously? Its costs more than twice as much per person in the US than the NHS does in the UK. I do hope I never have to rely on charity hospitals to treat my illness.
