Yeah, from what I hear it sounds like they are trying to make the NHS less effective so that it can be privatized like the US's system, much the way that they are trying to make schools ever-worse here so they can be privatized into charter schools. It's all about the profit over the people, for those types.
Our emergency services are shit, too. FEMA, as you may have heard about with Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans and then again in Puerto Rico a year and a half ago or so - is doing less and less, as disasters become more and more. California is pretty much on fire all the damn time now. People are left to fend for themselves after hurricanes. Bridges and roads are literally collapsing. New Orleans is sinking.
I literally don't understand people who care more about their personal profits than the common good. Do they really need another million or two or twenty at the cost of people's lives? They don't, but they don't care. It's unfathomable when we're a species that is wired to band together socially for survival. How did this behavior not get rooted out thousands of years ago by evolution?
