You can probably understand in the UK how certain groups are systematically trying to gut their NHS. That seems to be the same mentality that is going in the US. Make medical care all about maximizing profit.

- balabaster 8y agoI can understand why those who put money and greed above people who are systematically trying to gut the NHS. I understand because to many, their God is money. Their be all and end all of life. Their alpha and their omega. Don't confuse that with me understanding them. I am a people before everything kind of guy. In the immortal words of Princess Leia - "If money is all you love, then that's what you'll receive." I'm vehemently opposed to the NHS being privatized. It's an institution and the crown jewel that sets Britain aside from the rest of the world. To see people supporting their attempts to privatize it and send Britain down the same path as the U.S. in my mind is the ultimate failure of the British people and it infuriates me - worse even than Brexit. When did we become a people who believed the lies and rhetoric spewed by those on TV over our own education? When did we become a people who just blindly followed what we were told like lambs to the slaughter? I thought we were better than that, honestly. It makes me sick.
