Matt Smith at
Guild Socialism has an
excellent post detailing why Britons should oppose Prime Minster David Cameron's plan to reform the NHS. It is definitely worth a read even if, like me, you are not from the United Kingdom, as Mr. Smith's analysis sheds light on the dangers of neoliberal "reforms," which are being used to reduce the living standards of millions of people across the globe via brutal austerity and privatization programs.
The lucky British, they are worried about saving the NHS while the only thing we Americans have to "save" is expensive insurance premiums and deductibles.
ReplyDeleteHi Mr. Gagic,
ReplyDeleteGreat point. It looks like the Republicans are now trying to dismantle Medicare, one of the most humane programs ever enacted by the Federal government. It is all very depressing.
