This is a split thread from the Brexit-focused I don't like the way the junior doctors are new being provoked into going private, or encouraged to emigrate, by the government causing NHS strikes. It's not good human relations. The same sort of thing happened a few years ago with regard to NHS dentistry. Long queues started forming in some parts of the country as people desperately searched for an NHS dentist.
It's all very well for pundits on TV to whinge about the doctors. Most of those journalist pundits are on private health care schemes, as are most bankers and politicians. It's people who are not on private health insurance, and who need hip replacements, or have brain tumours, or heart attacks and strokes who are the people who suffer. It's like politicians advocate comprehensive schools and then have their own children privately educated.
Most people now have no idea what it was like before the NHS. You had to pay to have a baby born. The BMA was opposed to the NHS at first and they had to be persuaded to join by the then Labour government.
It's typical lack of strategic vision by the government. A capitalist government consists of a private sector and a public sector, not just a few prospering billionaires.
