Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
The NHS - do you want US companies (and others) running parts of our health service?
........
Our government is preparing to strike new trade deals after Brexit. Donald Trump is waiting for his chance to do an ‘America first’ deal. [1] And we’ve already got a taste of his plans: his sights are firmly set on the NHS. [2] It could mean American companies running our hospitals, making money off of us when we're sick and vulnerable. [3]
But we can stop them. Together, we can prove the public won’t allow the NHS to be offered up on the negotiating table. The government's launched a consultation about how the UK should trade with other countries. [4] It’s our chance to tell them we want the NHS protected from future trade deals, no matter what.
The people who want to see our NHS opened up to American companies are well connected to UK government ministers, but together we can drown their voices out. [5] If the government hear from hundreds of thousands of us, they’ll know voters won’t allow our NHS to be sold off to the highest bidder.

It’s also astonishingly more expensive as it is run on a for profit basis

There's seems to be some conflation of US companies with the US health care system in this thread. US companies providing some services to the NHS does not mean we have the US health care system. I'm not sure there's any reason why US companies should be inherently better or worse than, say, UK companies at providing services to the NHS just because they're American.
