To be clear, universal healthcare is slowly failing in the UK

[–] Luvs2Spuj@lemmy.world 22 points 2 months ago (2 children)

It really isn't. It was being undermined by political powers who wanted to line their own pockets with a private system.

The Tory playbook is to underfund and sabotage public interest so they can claim it doesn't work without private ownership.

One could argue ruling parties reducing funding for universal healthcare (reduction of giving to the poor) is inevitable.
