To be honest, even with the best will in the world, I don’t think it is going to be possible to maintain the NHS in its present form into the future.
It is inevitable that it will have to become at least part paid for by the end user directly.
Medicine is becoming more personalised and as a result, more costly. Many of the new drugs coming through are horrendously expensive, often because they can only be applied to small numbers of patients.
There will come a point where, in the not so distant future, a choice has to be made between having health insurance or a putting up with a truly third world service.
