Independent: "We're spending £94bn on the health service this year, compared with £52bn six years ago... so why are wards shut down, operations cancelled and trusts in turmoil?"
It's not that difficult to understand. Privatisation and market economy have made everything more costly. Providing health care is not the first objective, it's making profits. It stands to reason that a government health service can provide services at cost, whereas a private organisation has to make a profit.
The same is true for other public services, like the post and public transport. Service is deteriorating and the costs are rising. That is an unhealthy situation.
