This is the reason why we can never reform healthcare in the UK — or even have a sensible debate about it.
The moment anyone suggests alternative/additional ways of funding health Labour rushes out privatisation smears and claims US private health insurance is being proposed.
Labour has been doing it for decades. It explains why the NHS is effectively beyond reform.
The two worst health systems in the rich world are in America and the UK. It’s why nobody has ever copied them. It would be mad to go from ours to theirs (or vice versa).
But Europe is awash with health systems that can call on several sources of funds, including many with compulsory public health insurance schemes. They have better health outcomes than the NHS. They are free at the point of use (like the NHS). Most of them are better funded.
But Labour puts them out of bounds, refuses even to discuss or consider. So patient care suffers. NHS struggles on.
Labour is always telling us we need to get closer to Europe. It’s where we belong. But not when it comes to health, where it insists no lessons can be learned. Pretty pathetic, really.

@TimesRadio@kaitborsay Crypto may be anonymous, but UK political donations aren't, so the idea of a flood of crypto donations coming to UK political parties is erroneous. If they were being covered up, the risk of being caught out is too great.

If you missed Ed Milliband’s car crash interview with Sky, here it is. The interviewer bursts out laughing because he cannot believe he could be so disingenuous, ignorant, stupid or or all of the above. But he’s definitely dangerous.
