Maybe we need to look at what France and Germany are doing with their system and copy them.
They’re funding theirs.
The Tories (and Labour) are trying to privatise ours. Which obviously won’t make it any cheaper because idle shareholders will be siphoning off a hefty chunk into the tax havens that neither the Tories nor Labour will shut down. In the meantime, they’re pulling the same trick they did with British Rail: underfund it until it’s easy to kill off and sell cheap to their rich backers so they can charge us more for less.
European systems have quite a bit of private provision but they are still generally single payer and heavily regulated. Private involvement in healthcare doesn’t automatically involve what they created in the USA.

That always the argument made, while possible contracted are lined up with big US private health companies.
