Conservatives have defunded the NHS to the point where even here people are now falling for the private insurance con, it's ridiculous and depressing

tweet by Top Shelf Sweetie @InternetHippo:
"Medicare For All? No thanks, I don't want to pay for other people's health care. I like private insurance, where I pay for other people's health care AND for the salaries of bloodsucking middlemen whose entire purpose is telling me No when I need medicine"

Appreciate the sentiment but it's definitely not you who needs to be apologising šŸ’œ
Take yourself ("victim") out, and now we're talking, though they never would...

My local GP no longer allows appointments over the phone, before it was a race to not just get an engaged tone.

Appointments now have to be done online, where you are very handily by adverts for private GP services. All very much going according to plan

Same thing happening here in Canada. Politicians 'starving the beasts' of healthcare and education and then pointing out how they are failing.
