This blog has been all about my treatment for thyroid cancer. Although I've got issues with the way I've been dealt with at different points along the way, my treatment has all been free and if I don't like the way the NHS is going politically I can - at least nominally - vote for a different party who will fund the NHS properly to do its job (yes, I know you can't get a blue Rizla between the political parties in the uk at the moment - but its the principle).
In the US healthcare is almost entirely determined by the publically unaccountable shareholders of the insurance companies that provide the healthcare - resulting in a grossly unequal health care provision and one of the highest infant mortality rates in the developed world. So - if you want to fight for the NHS to stay public and against the creeping privatisation that is invading the principle of free healthcare, come along to the Keep Our NHS Public demo on Saturday in central London - more details here - http://www.keepournhspublic.com/index.php the unions involved are funding coaches from different parts of the country - details on the website.
