    It really isn’t. It was being undermined by political powers who wanted to line their own pockets with a private system.

    The Tory playbook is to underfund and sabotage public interest so they can claim it doesn’t work without private ownership.

      You just aggressively agreed with my statement while stating you disagreed at the beginning.

        No, your statement was indicating that universal healthcare was failing. It isn’t and has been successful in the UK for over 70 years.

        When you say universal healthcare in the UK is failing with no additional context you are using the conservative rhetoric, which is damaging.

        It’s like if you failed an exam because your class funding was cut to only give teachers half as much time to teach, then you claimed that education doesn’t work.

        If we agree with each other on the broader points, then that’s great.
