> Also "outsourcing the lucrative parts" - give source for your claim please. This one indicates "unfunded mandates" - a trick the GOP in the US has done for decades (notably so-called Medicare Advantage which created a crisis that didn't exist): https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2022/apr/05/tories-nhs-crisis-sajid-javid-targets https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2022/apr/05/tories... Another specific tactic is privatizing things that didn't need privatization (or the result is less efficient than what existed before, but it happened to make some corporations and ministers/secretaries a lot of money) - see "failed efficiency savings and privatization" here: https://www.opendemocracy.net/en/nhs-crisis-rishi-sunak-conservative-labour-austerity-privatisation/ https://www.opendemocracy.net/en/nhs-crisis-rishi-sunak-cons...
