No Health Insurance based system to pay for the NHS.

The Issue

"My love of the NHS, my respect for the NHS, my commitment to the NHS runs through every sinew of my body.

The NHS is safe in my hands and I don't want anyone to ever tell you otherwise".
– PRIME MINISTER DAVID CAMERON (www.itv.com/news; 18 may 2015)

However, in the week ending 12 July 2015. The House of Lords were discussing a draught proposal from the Conservative Government to introduce a 'Pay NHS' This could include an American style Insurance system to fund the NHS.

We the British public must not allow this to happen. Many people simply can not afford this and as a result will not receive medical assistance.We, the British public must tell the Government that we are prepared to pay modest tax increases for the NHS, however  the NHS MUST be kept free for all to use..

This proposal was not outlined in the Conservative manifesto and was secretly discussed in the House of Lords. This is effectively wholly undemocratic and breaks a promise to the people that the NHS would be safe with a Conservative Government. This IS privatisation of the NHS through the back door. The Government MUST be reminded who they are accountable too, that is,the British people.

This could and will effect the NHS nation wide if implemented. We MUST say NO.
