with the new goverment in Power any one else worried about the nhs being sold off and us having to pay for our insulin and other drugs i and on benifits and really worried
 
It's the same government as we had before.
 
Not immediately. But this time next year could be a bit fraught by all accounts.
 
Not worried, I think you will find the NHS being sold off was fake news.

However there have been drug shortages unrelated to Brexit for some time / years now on certain meds.
 
Yes, the Brexit timetable is very aggressive which could result in Comings getting his hard Brexit, which in turn could cause supply/cost issues with many drugs! Will not say more it might be editted!
 
Not immediately but I worry for my kids future as they both have chronic conditions and would find it harder to get private health insurance of any sort.

I personally think they would have to review the Health Insurance System as it is as it doesn't usally cover most chronic conditions, and does not cover everything. When I had a knee replacement 2 1/2 years ago, if I had not already owned crutches I would have had to pay for some, and I also had to pay for the medications to bring home.
 
Not worried about nhs being sold off in its entirety, that will never happen, concerns are more in general, lack of funding long waiting times lack of moral.
 
I think a lot of the "talk" about selling off the NHS has been scaremongering for political gain. I agree with nonethewiser and Jodee.
 
Just Fake news and should be ignored. You can't sell off the NHS and many bits of it are already privatised e.g. GP surgeries and out-sourced operations etc.
