Public Health in the UK

For John, BLUF:  Maggie Thatcher noted that, with socialism, you eventually run out of other peoples' money.  Nothing to see here; just move along.

The NHS is our religion: it’s the only thing that saves it from the Tories

Acronym Alert:  NHS is Britain's National Health Service (Socialist Medicine).

Here is the sub-headline:

Public support remains passionate, allowing our health service to fend off attempts to undermine its core purpose

From The Guardian, by Ms Polly Toynbee, 3 July 2018.

Ms Toynbee is my favorite Labour Columnist.

Here is the lede:

lorious celebrations for this week’s NHS 70th birthday mark the proudest social democratic moment of our history.  The Labour party descended on Tredegar, Nye Bevan’s birthplace, to march through the streets to brass bands, and London marched too.  Everything lyrically expressed in Danny Boyle’s Olympic ceremony, with its 300 glowing NHS beds filled with bouncing children, is emotionally reprised in this reminder of our better selves.

Aneurin Bevan was a Welshman and a Labour Member of Parliament.
