Tory Matt Hancock teams up with think tank who want NHS replaced with insurance

[Northerner]

Health Secretary Matt Hancock has been accused of being “in hock to fringe right wingers” after teaming up with a think tank who want to close hospitals and ramp up NHS workers' hours

The top Tory is today launching a report by right wingers the Taxpayers’ Alliance (TPA), calling for more automation in the Health Service.

Introducing the report, Mr Hancock is expected to say technology can “transform the way we deliver public services” and free nurses up “to do more of what they love and do so well: treating and caring for patients.”

But the TPA’s website calls for a dramatic reduction in the number of Hospitals and called for the NHS to move to an “insurance-based model.”

Just look at what happens in the states. The insurance companies determine the care you get rather than medical practitioners!!!! Does he think that this will save money? Look at what has happened to costs with the increase in pet insurance. .......
And I thought Jeremy Hunt was bad for the NHS!!!!
