I am NOT happy with health care reform. This bill shows why I am a strong supporter for completely government-run universal health care. Not Health Care Reform, real government-run health care where the government:

1. employs the doctors and nurses
2. can provide a comprehensive range of services
3. shapes its services around the needs and preferences of individual patients, their families and their carers
4. responds to the different needs of different populations
5. works continuously to improve the quality of services and to minimize errors
6. uses public funds for healthcare devoted solely to patients
7. works with others to ensure a seamless service for patients
8. helps to keep people healthy and work to reduce health inequalities
9. respects the confidentiality of individual patients and provide open access to information about services, treatment and performance

(based on NHS England)

So that it:

1. meets the needs of everyone
2. be free at the point of delivery
3. it be based on clinical need, not ability to pay
