 Hi my name's Adam Kay, I've written about the NHS a lot, I've worked for the NHS and more importantly I've used the NHS a huge amount, they've saved my life, they've saved the life of so many members of my family and I'm speaking to you because the NHS is under threat. It's not the first time the NHS has been under threat, the NHS has been systematically underfunded for at least a decade, we're short tens of thousands of staff, that's the reason that it's gonna take a long time to get your routine operations, that's the reason that there are the delays and the waits to see your GP but there's a big, big, big threat facing the NHS at the moment and it comes in the shape of the health and care bill that's about to go through Parliament. Now I love America, America is a brilliant place but they get healthcare almost absolutely wrong, Gallup, the survey company, ask Americans every year what their number one concern is, the number one concern amongst Americans is the availability and affordability of healthcare, that is something we simply don't have in the UK thanks to the NHS which is free at the point of service based on your clinical need not based on your bank balance. In the state the number one cause of bankruptcy is health and healthcare costs and that American system of healthcare is in grave danger of coming over here causing an insurance-based two-tier system, that is what this health and care bill is all about and it's really, really important that this is something that we all do our bit to oppose. This is a pivotal moment for the NHS, we will look back at this moment and think I wish I'd done something, that's the fear but there is something you can do, there are a load of things you can do to help oppose it and if you go to a website which is yournhsneedsu.com, yournhsneedsu.com it'll tell you all the things that you can do to help, I'm going to do my bit to help and I really beg you to do the same thank you.
