THIS week the Tories voted to end the NHS as we know it, in one of the most far-reaching pieces of legislation in my lifetime.
There can and should be further efforts to block the legislation in the parliamentary process. But we cannot rely on that being successful and should prepare for a campaign to oppose the self-off in every way we can.
The Health and Care Bill is in reality nothing of the kind. It is a corporate takeover Bill, which dismantles the national structures of the NHS in order to allow private companies, mainly US and British private healthcare companies to cherry-pick the services they want for profits. Inevitably this will mean worse service, high charges and/or health insurance costs for many and even bankruptcy for some.
