We know working people can’t afford to pay more, so it is reform or die.” Alexa, show me a false dichotomy. It’s amazing how the their report names austerity as the culprit of the NHS’ waning condition, but Streeting’s solution seems to just change where money is allocated. The UK spends significantly less on Health compared to other developed countries, is it really surprising that our results would be significantly worse?
