The UK government is trying to get rid of free healthcare by opening up the system to private companies. That isn’t a good idea, since it will mean millions of people are left without healthcare. (This same government is OK with privatising the police and forcing terminally ill people to work or lose welfare.)
By Monday, it will be too late to stop this happening. If you are in the UK, please sign this petition today. It will be presented to the House of Lords on Monday, so it’s not just e-drama.

If you have any questions about healthcare here, I’ll do my best to answer.
