Nhs for Sale: Myths, Lies & Deception
Nhs for Sale: Myths, Lies & Deception | Jacky Davis, Davis Jacky, John Lister, David Wrigley
13 posts | 1 read | 5 to read
The English National Health Service (NHS) is under massive threat and this work challenges several myths relating to the issue, including that the NHS is broken and that it is not affordable. The authors review the policies of the Coalition and the Labour Party and suggest what can done to promote a healthy NHS. With a bevy of citations and evidence, the authors show that the private sector is not cheaper and provides an analysis on the effects of new structures and financial pathways relating to health care. This is a complete review of the efficiency of a state-sponsored health care system, making it an important addition to a subject that we all face.

This is excellent and so important. The data's slightly dated as it was written before (and aimed at) the 2015 general election but quite frankly things have only got worse since then. As the title implies it's written with a clear anti-privatisation agenda (which you may find off putting if you want something more impartial) but it's really well researched and well argued. There's bound to be another election soon. Read it before then.

I'm #ThankfulFor the NHS,and I hate what this government is doing to it. I hate how they're underfunding it, I hate how they're selling it off piece by piece to companies that put profit above people's welfare, and I really hate how they're using it to attack immigrants when it wouldn't survive without immigrant workers. #photoadaynov16
