@B0M83R25 What Nigel Farage has said himself, as well as the donors to the party. Reform UK’s stance on moving towards an insurance-based system, like Nigel Farage suggested in 2012, raises some serious concerns. Farage himself said, "I think we’re going to have to think about healthcare very, very differently... move to an insurance-based system of healthcare," because he felt more comfortable trusting insurance companies over the government to manage healthcare funds. However, whose interests would be served by shifting to such a system, and who would lose out? Privatising healthcare may benefit insurance companies and private providers, but it could leave vulnerable populations, especially those who can't afford private coverage, at a severe disadvantage. As for the NHS, while it needs reform, introducing radical changes like deregulating medical standards or abolishing professional licensing only risks patient safety and could undermine the very values the NHS was built on. Reform UK's health policy, with its focus on efficiency and private sector expansion, may address some NHS inefficiencies, but we must ask whether these reforms will truly benefit patients or prioritise profits. We need to strengthen the NHS, not replace it with a system that could make healthcare less accessible for many.

@Tallorder-n A few quick facts: NHS waiting times worsened under 13 years of Tory rule – not Labour . Yes, Wes Streeting has explored reform, but he’s committed to keeping the NHS free at the point of use. Migration contributes net tax revenue (especially younger workers), helping fund services like the NHS. And the “chicken nugget” deportation story? Twisted tabloid nonsense – the actual case was about a child’s welfare. Let’s not fall for culture war bait when the real issue is chronic underfunding and privatisation.
