David Cameron has told NHS staff that they and the country should trust him with the future of the health service.
Well he couldn't really admit the real purpose is to make the NHS a private health care which only the well off can afford so instead he said the NHS would be safe in his hands.
So can we trust Cameron and his Conservative buddies? Maybe if we have a peek at his own manifesto and see how many promises he has broken or have never bothered to undertake in the past year.
Top of the list is the promise of no restructuring of the NHS. I think that one fails as does no VAT increase and the extra officers employed in the police service.
The changes to child tax credits, disability allowance and college EMA when he promised no changes were planned doesn't point towards someone we can trust neither.
The obvious conclusion would be that you are the last person on this earth that people should trust Dave and if anyone thinks that this two faced, scheming liar of a man is good for the NHS and the UK in general, i suggest you go get help now while you can still afford it.

i thought your economy sucked as bad as ours. how does health care run on tax money work when nobody can afford to pay taxes?
frankly, i'd rather by like my grandparents and my parents. they all lived beyond 70 without health insurance o free health care. yes, they could have lived longer if they had submitted themselves to heart surgery, etc. but they thought the prices were ridiculous. they also all said "i've lived a long good life. when my time is up it is up." if everybody still had that attitude you wouldn't be working your ass off for someone else to have "free" healthcare...

I don't think we should be fooled by the old "we can't afford it" con. Certain vested interests (particularly those with an interest in private health insurance companies) don't want us to keep funding a national health service (unlike the vast majority of the population as a whole) and will use the current financial strife as a reason why we should favour privatisation. However large economies have great potential to bounceback, and even massive deficits can be turned into surpluses with the right policies. The US in the 90s showed that.
Here's a good recent study comparing various healthcare systems around the world. Turns out that Americans 'work their asses off' more than most of us, for what they get.

I always thought that the Tories must think all their dreams have come true, a chance to slash and hack and privatise everything and blame it on necessary cuts. They have always wanted to go after the NHS and now they have the cover to do it. It is a big con but hopefully the lib dems have found their backbone at long last.
