> The NHS is a disaster and the reason isn't because of "privatization" You're in luck. Current UK government believes in privatisation of public services, massive tax cuts, and funding those tax cuts by massive cuts in public spending. They've released one mini-budget, and that was so bad they crashed the UK economy. The pound is at the lowest it's been in decades; the Bank of England is taking emergency measures to try to stabilise the economy Almost everyone describes this as a disaster, and even traditionally right wing fiscal sources are saying we need to adequately fund public services and those need to be paid for by some kind of taxation. There's a reason you don't hear much about purely private healthcare: where ever it's tried it fails. In England we have private provision of private services, and these serve a very narrow niche where people are either treated for minor things, or treatment is begun and then they're discharged back to the NHS when their money runs out; we also have private provision of NHS services and that fails because they can't provide the service for the money available or because they're just terrible (see countless CQC reports).
