The NHS always has been a totemic issue for Labour and, in recent decades, has often been seen as a key election issue.
But this time there seems even more determination by Labour to make the state of the NHS the defining issue of the campaign.
The stresses and strains on the service this winter have given a new edge to arguments over the financing and future shape of healthcare. And now we have Labour's detailed plan - so how does it stack up?
Up to a point, today's speeches by the Labour leader Ed Miliband and shadow health secretary Andy Burnham re-state what was set out at the party conference.
