 The NHS is incredibly important to all of us. I believe it's our country's finest social achievement. A universal, national health service free at the point of use to all who need it paid for through direct taxation. It has cared for millions of us since 1948 and we are so fortunate to have it. But it's under threat. The government is pushing a bill through parliament that will tear our NHS up into a series of locally managed organisations based on a business model. Instead of it being a national public service. I believe that the government's plans will give private health companies, including American companies, the opportunity to undercut the national health service and that we will see more and more services delivered by big business with money that should be spent on patient care going into the pockets of shareholders. I also believe it will lead to a postcode lottery and an increase in rationing of services making it harder for people to get the treatment that they need and leaving people suffering in pain. It's incredibly important we all do whatever we can to save our NHS for ourselves and for future generations. We have an incredible fight on our hands and we need everyone to do whatever they can.
