No health service

Why all the fuss about the health service?

We have not had one for decades.

We have an illness management service funded largely by the symptom suppression drugs industry and the manufacturers of various types of equipment used in trying to prove that we need more treatment.

Unfortunately, if we had a service dedicated to keeping us healthy, lots of people would be out of work and we wouldn’t want that, of course.

Naturally lots of people have to die to help this all continue but such is modern life.

If anybody is in any doubt about this, they have only to look at the TV appearances of the unhealthy looking health ministers of the last few years.
