Why this petition matters

Started by Wendy Nowak

We demand a fully tax-payer funded NHS providing universal health care free at point of need which would mean expensive private providers would not have the opportunity to cash in on sickness. It's the system we had 12 years ago, which the Tory government has eroded. Private providers do not operate in the best interests of patient care and payment for the service does not necessarily mean the best outcomes or standards of care. Millions of us suffer from med conditions which render us uninsurable, excluded from insurance cover, as seen in the US, where diabetics die because they can't afford insulin and patients have to crowdfund for their care. We do NOT want that system, which govt. ministers seem to be advocating, in the UK. It's unworkable and will cost lives.
