Ah yes, that most beloved little tool of Neo Liberals, privatisation. Also known as healthcare only for the wealthy ( with a few charity hospitals chucked in for appearance) while the poor will just have to suffer.
I'm so old that I can remember when there were no charity hospitals, when anyone could access healthcare; before greed overtook the world...
If allowing others to suffer actual physical pain so that you & your mates can become immensely wealthy isn't evil then what the hell is it?

in order to be old & wise, you must first be young & stupid. (I'm still working on that.)
