When the NHS was founded, it was intended to provide free GP consultations (previously not free), ambulance service, hospital treatment for injuries and illness.
There were few antibiotics, kidney, liver and heart transplants were a fantasy, fertility treatment, gastric bands and many procedures now common were not considered, so the National Insurance scheme to fund the NHS seemed adequate.
All of these advances, MRI and CT scanners and expensive pharmaceuticals clearly can not be provided universally unless there are reforms.
Successive Governments, NHS top management (and, recently, politically motivated Union leaders) have all 'kicked the can down the road' instead of making the changes necessary to make the system affordable.
Avoiding possibly unpopular changes and instead throwing taxpayers' cash into the bottomless pit of 'Our Sacred NHS' is not the solution.

If you were the PM what would you change and how would treatment be paid for?

One simple change would bring in money without costing the vast majority of the population a penny.
Abolish the reduced rate for high earners.

A pity that won't even scratch the surface as regards the bottomless pit of NHS spending. The problem is, as Galileo so eliquently put it, that there are far more 'demands' on the service, its poorly maneged at nearly all levels, plus there's little cohesion between the various parts of the service, both frontline, backoffice / management and building services / estates.
The amount of money wasted on various wheezes and schemes (incl. virtue-signalling projects that accomplish nothing or make things worse), non-jobbers (diversity and inclusion officers is the latest), staff who 'retire' (young) and come back the next day on lavish third-party contracts (the firm employing them earns most, but the 'staff' still make bank) as 'locums' etc, and IT & building work is staggering.
Add to that an ever-increasing medical negligence (which costs a fortune)*, most of which gets swept under the carpet by all relevant parties - government, civil servants, professional medical bodies, Quangos and the police. Whistleblowers get treated far, far worse than the perpetrators of malpractice, negligence or even criminal behaviour. Lessons rarely get learned (though they say they do in PR messaging)
As someone who for years worked in and around such things (later on I refused to work on such projects to protect my professional reputation), you really need to see first hand how much money and resources are wasted. The only government department I know of who wastes more money for each £ in taxes is, in my opinion, the MoD.
Politicians (of all stripes) and officials / on the ground mangers are equally responsible. As Galileo says, none are willing to speak the truth because it is seen as 'heresy' to denigrate the 'sacred NHS' and the many vested interests in Big Pharma and elsewhere whose income is dependent upon the existing system continuing without reform.

Why ask the question, since you obvious knew the answer. Is it because you want the discussion closed down once it exposes the fallacy of the NHS in its current form? No other Western Industrialised country uses a system identical to ours and as a result do far better.
Throwing good money after bad won't help, as the early 2000s showed perfectly. A lot of the money is now wasted on paying private firms way over the cost to 'run' hospitals because those 'negotiating' the long contracts in the early 2000s thought that the good times of spending on credit would continue forever.
Unfortunately, as we're now finding out, there's only so many ways to creatively hide public debt before the normies finally cotton ont to the decades-old scam. Add to this the likely huge increase in medical negligence claims due (yes) to COVID vaccine injuries, both short and long-term born, are likely to c****** the public finances.
Add to that all the other things that have been done so badly at governmental level worldwide, no wonder the authorities are trying it on with 'Chinese spy balloons' and 'UFOs' as a distraction form it all.
You have to wonder what they've got in store for the next (manufactured) crisis or the one after that. presumably more to take away the few remaining freedoms we have and the transfer the rest of our 'wealth' (such as it is) to the Billionaire-owned megacorps with the help of their mainstream politician and journo lackies.
Few, if any politicians or journos (or anyone) has the guts to say that most of the world is bankrupt and mortgaged up to the wazoo with the IOUs only payable to China and the billionaire elites controlling the 'money' but mostly resources and land.

The German compulsory health insurance seems to be a reasonable model. The insurance contributions are a percentage of salary, paid for jointly by employee and employer, up to a ceiling.
Those above the ceiling or self-employed can opt for private insurance - this has advantages regarding the quality of treatment (perhaps) with an entitlement to be treated by the top doctor rather than an underling and a smaller ward and lower costs if you are young and single. A downside is that you can get trapped into the private system which is not so attractive for families or older people.
I would make the private system available only on top of the compulsory scheme - you can spend your money how you want to, but ring-fence the contributions to providing for health care, with a second insurance system for care for the elderly.
How to phase the introduction of a totally new system is a real problem, however.

Just wait 6 months. Even Fauci now apparently admits that the vaccines don't prevent transmission or give any meaningful benefit (including avoiding hospitalisation) to anyone under 50 and/or who is otherwise healthy, and where the 'positive' effects period gets shorter with every booster and goes (more) negative with each, often leading those taking them to stand a far higher chance of becoming ill (and more seriously) from any infection.
Even the supposed 'guru' Bill Gates (who ear whispering seemed to direct many a government / politician's views) has done a 180 on this.
That was a supposed 'conspiracy theory' a year ago. It isn't any more.
Similarly with the use of face masks, where numerous scientic reports have discredited all the so called 'updated' guideance around April-May 2020, back to what it was prior to the pandemic, including that which the WHO previously ascribed to.
I suspect that even Google / YouTube won't be able to suppress the truth for much longer via their censoring scientists and clinicians on the whim of the FBI / CIA / UK equivalents and their politician and journo lackies, more and more of whom are now backing off and even changing their minds because they see which way the winds are blwoing, pre-empting the blame game.
Probably why the globalist elites are continually trying to confect more and more crises to distract and frighten to population into silence/submission. Looks like their still succeeding with a few weak-minded indivduals on this forum, presumably who think that the authorities won't come after them (for being good little boys) or will be too old to care because they'll be well gone by the time the REALLY BAD stuff kicks in.
I'm sure a lot of Germans thought much the same in the early 1930s or former Soviet citizens did when their dictators took over, and look what happened to them.
|
<< Even Fauci now apparently admits that the vaccines don't prevent transmission >>
Vaccines are not designed to 'prevent transmission'. All they can hope to do is control the response to anything that gets transmitted. Face masks are an attempt to limit transmission; it is debated how much good they do, but they must be at least marginally better than coughing or sneezing openly.

I'm not going to get right into it, but:
- What's going to happen in six months time?
- What has Fauci said said that makes you think he's changed his mind?
- What has Bill Gates said that makes you think he's changed his mind?

Andy
The original post was about Private health care which you have neatly morphed into a post about Fauci, Bill Gates and made it into a new conspiracy theory.
You really need to get out more and enjoy life, it must be very sad having views that only your fellow conspiracy theorist friends believe and in reality are a load of rubbish.
For the record if we are offered a 5th jab later this year I will be at the front of the queue again and should a new wave happens I will wear a mask again until infections fall.
We all know that the jab never gave anyone 100% immunity to infection but what it did give was a vastly reduced need to hospitalise people with an infection and a vastly reduced death rate. When me and the wife got Covid last July we we both up to date with our injections and the symptoms we had were very minor.
Long may experts such as Fauci be in a position to give sound advice, without them Covid would have been far worse.

I can hardly be bothered to trawl through Andy's latest rubbish, but if he wants any kind of serious discussion he can deal with this:
"Even Fauci now apparently admits that the vaccines don't prevent transmission or give any meaningful benefit (including avoiding hospitalisation) to anyone under 50 and/or who is otherwise healthy, and where the 'positive' effects period gets shorter with every booster and goes (more) negative with each, often leading those taking them to stand a far higher chance of becoming ill (and more seriously) from any infection."
Please provide evidence. I don't think there is any. And kindly avoid the waffle, ramble, deflection and whataboutery that sometimes characterises your "discussion". (N.B. As has already been pointed out, no-one ever claimed any vaccine prevented transmission - which is, to use your favourite phrase, a "strawman argument".)
As for your confident claim that something significant is going to emerge in six months' time, that reminds me a lot of the pro-Trumpers who even gave specific dates when something was going to happen to vindicate their argument. (For example, Trump would be reinstated on Aug. 13, 2021.)
Still, I will patiently await the arrival of July 2023 and look for whatever it is that's possibly going to happen.

I have relatively little personal experience of the NHS because as a family we have generally used private medicine. Indeed I remember my mother having an operation in a private hospital back in the 1960s - although I think we used an NHS GP at that time and he was pretty good.
My youngest daughter is a doctor in a Midlands NHS hospital and her view is that the NHS is no longer in crisis - its actually completely broken. It would frankly terrify me if I thought I had to rely on the NHS. And the fact is that the NHS is well-funded. According to data I looked up (published by the Kings Fund) the per capita cost of UK health care is around £3000, which is not far off the European average.
In the UK we don't use medical insurance, we go the 'direct pay' route. I had a very major operation in 2008 which cost around £24k and we've had a couple of minor expenses such as scans, private GP consultations etc and a minor keyhole op for my wife last year. Even with the cost of my major op I think we are still well ahead as compared with paying health insurance. We spend quite a lot of time overseas (mainly at properties in Thailand and Spain) and we have a 'global health policy' from April International (a French company) which covers us outside the UK. I think it costs a couple hundred pounds a month for very comprehensive cover. I once injured my shoulder in Thailand and found the private hospitals to be absolutely first class (I used 'Bangkok International') and April International liaised directly with the hospital for payment.
I am currently UK resident for tax purposes and pay a small fortune in tax on my property rental income. I deeply resent the fact that I don't use the NHS but have to pay for it to treat the idle and feckless. Especially those that smoke, drink and eat themselves into ill health. I think making a charge for health care might 'nudge' the British into taking a bit more responsibility for their health. One of the things that always strikes us on arrival in the UK is the unhealthy appearance of a lot of British people. So many British people look bloated and sickly, with pallid skin - my wife calls it the 'Pillsbury Doughboy' look.

The NHS is available "free" to all and despite the issues with it long may it continue. Its clear from your post you have loads of money but very few people I know would have the odd £24k kicking around to pay for an operation. At a time of severe health issues the last thing anyone would want is the added stress of trying to fined money to pay for treatment.
If you wish to pay for treatment go ahead but please don't try and stop the rest of us getting what in my case I have been paying for for almost 50 years now for free when as a retired person I am more likely to need now than ever. Over those 50 years I have actually received very little from the NHS but I never resented paying the NI and tax since at the time older family members were benefiting from it.
|
I think the fundamental problem for the NHS is that it continues to aim for the founding principle from 1947/48 of providing health care to all as needed. In the ensuing 75 years all kinds of expensive new treatments have developed, and life expectancy has increased by many years - largely because of better health care. Only today, a new gene-editing procedure was announced costing £2.8 million, available on the NHS, admittedly only rarely called for, but that is a microcosm of 75 years' advances in the NHS.
The difficulty is persuading everyone that these new things cannot be afforded on relatively cheap taxation. Today's hospitals have to have all kinds of expensive equipment and expensively-trained people to operate it (and manage it :-( )

In fairness, I rather suspect the 'idle and feckless' deeply resent having to pay half of their income to you in rent so that you can sit in the sun complaining about them and wondering why they don't also have tans.

It is a good job that there are in this country a lot of private landlords and companies offering property to rent. The sell off of former council houses has left a big hole in the flats/ houses available for the less well off. There again you have people earning a very good wage living in council houses.
Getting back to private health care, a lot of good employers are offering family private health care as park of their work package. This helps ensure that their employees can get back to work more promptly than waiting for the NHS. As far as treatment is concerned you cannot fault the NHS. It is a great pity that the waiting lists can be so long. For years the NHS as spent billions on so called management consultants with little return. Whatever government is in charge they are afraid to rock the boat in carrying out reforms in both the NHS and the civil service

Eh? Who do you think bought up all the Council houses, trebled the rent and put them back on the rental market? And all that lovely rent comes out of the benefits bill because there's no affordable housing left after Thatcher sold it all off for buttons.
But, yes, health insurance. I have both a cash plan (pays for optical, dental etc) and insurance (pays for operations etc). The problem is that neither gives you face to face access to a GP. You can have a five minute video call with one when they're on their lunch break but nothing else. You might be able to get a referral from them, but your scan then gets sent back to your GP and overloads them even more.
The main issue that we have is that the NHS is hugely underfunded and collapsing under its own weight. It cannot be simply shut down because there isn't enough capacity in the private sector and the political ramifications would be huge. So, it is being allowed to die a slow death whilst we transition to a private, or paid for, model. That means that there is no infrastructure in either the private or public sector that currently functions as full coverage health service. Eventually. The transition will end, we will pay for treatment and the vulnerable will be c******d or dead.

Its complete nonsense to say that the NHS is 'hugely underfunded'. It receives huge amounts of taxpayer's money - around £3k per annum for every man, woman and child in the country. This is comparable to other European countries. Throwing more money at the NHS will not improve the service.
As regards me paying for my healthcare, well its about priorities and values isn't it? I paid £24k for an operation in 2008. I was able to choose who I felt was the most capable surgeon and use the best hospital. I prioritise my health. Of course I could have used the NHS and blown the money on a new car instead.
The cheap shot about me being a landlord is also to be expected. I got into property 25 years ago because I could see where the country was heading (rocketing population and not much housebuilding). When others were predicting a crash, I was buying. I keep my properties well maintained and am choosy about who I have as tenants. I provide a public service. Far too many younger people have no financial discipline and will never own their own property for that reason. They blow their money on must-have things like a new leased car, the latest iPhone, gym membership, beer at £6 a bottle....
|
I provide a public service.
Do you honestly belive that? If it was a public service you would charge a lot less and not be choosy as to who you rent to.

Sorry I should have been clearer; it is underfunded for what it tries to be. As above, it was supposed to provide GPs, ambulances and hospital care. It was never envisaged as a mental health service, or requiring MRI scanners or, yes, hundreds of layers of ineffective management. That's what I meant by collapsing under its own weight.
There now also seems to be this huge focus on not allowing anyone to die. People used to pop off in their seventies but we now seem to be hoarding thousands of elderly people who take no pleasure in life as if they're going to get better. I remember my Grandmother sitting in a chair well into her 90s, barely able to speak or eat, still being kept going. She was exhausted and every day was like torture for her. She just wanted it to stop.

""Eh? Who do you think bought up all the Council houses, trebled the rent and put them back on the rental market? And all that lovely rent comes out of the benefits bill because there's no affordable housing left after Thatcher sold it all off for buttons."""
I think that you will find that the council houses were sold off in the first instance to the sitting tenants at a good discount on their market value. A lot of councils have formed management companies to run their current stocks of houses.
"""But, yes, health insurance. I have both a cash plan (pays for optical, dental etc) and insurance (pays for operations etc). The problem is that neither gives you face to face access to a GP.

With private heath WITHOUT insurance you can get a face to face GP consultation for about £60 if you wish. You can also pay for scans and be referred to a consultant without going through your GP. Your own GP gets a kick back for referring patients to go private.

NHS is well funded but badly managed. I have several friends who are NHS doctors. They all agree that
1. Too many managers in NHS who are not adding value and costing a lot.
2. Old age care takes lot of resource.
3. Skill shortage (while doctors are paid extremely well not everyone is well paid) because not enough in country students studying medicine and NHS need to bring professionals from overseas. Doctors earn even more from locums.
4. Private medical workload is less and pay is better.
Private medical is a going to be a problem.
Firstly, not everyone can afford private insurance.
Secondly, they have T&C with lots of exclusions. Lot of people would discover they are not covered only during claim time e.g. something linked to pre-existing condition etc. Insurers will check past history only during claim - not during enrolment process.
Thirdly, once a trend sets to take up private medical, the government would have no incentive to fix NHS. This means NHS will worsen further over time. Once a critical mass moves into private scheme (I don't know what % of population that needs to be) it will be all downhill for NHS.
Insurers won't take old people. They won't refuse but will ask sky high premium which OAPs can't pay. So, insurers will get good health good earners most of whom would be covered via company plan. These people are least likely to claim too.
On contrary, if privatization is banned (won't happen, but let's assume) then rich and powerful people would be forced to use NHS and they would push the law makers to improve the services - thus leading to overall service standard uplift.

""Can you give us some numbers and a timeframe for the bolded bit?
It is common knowledge that the NHS and in this context I mean individual health authorities through out the UK employ their own MCs, There is no joined up thinking. Each authority is run as its own entity where as most of the medical side must have the common purpose within the NHS. With the NHS authorities paying its managers astronomical salaries to run their hospitals why do they need consultants and what have they achieved. If they where so good over say the last 20 years why is the NHS in terminal decline. Any private business would never have got in this mess given the money available

I suggest that the billions the NHS gets is insufficient to cover the cost of [a] the management pyramid it contains, [b] the vastly expensive diagnostic and treatment equipment each big hospital needs, and [c] the convalescent care that used to be done outside hospitals.
Te original 'business plan' to provide care for all on demand has been overtaken by scientific advance and public expectation.

Who do you think bought up all the Council houses, trebled the rent and put them back on the rental market?
When the Right to Buy Act was brought in by Maggie in the early 80's only sitting tenants could buy the properties. There was a discount from the market value that depended on the time people had been renting (not necessarily that particular house - years in other properties counted), the top discount was 50%. A vast majority of those in this area are still privately owned, easy to spot, the council ones look drab in comparison.
It would have worked better if the Local Authorities had been allowed to spend the receipts from the sales building new houses but Maggie's government would not allow that and in any case a vast majority of the receipts went to central government to pay for the huge bill for Unemployment Benefit which of course resulted form Maggie's policies.
When the Coal Industry was privatised the British Coal houses that had not been bought by the sitting tenants were put into packages that organisations could bid for. A majority of those organisations (or their successors) still let out the properties.
In this area most of the "buy to let" properties are old, run down terraced type that private buyers no longer have any interest in, normally go for £30,000 or less. Its created ghettos in certain areas, visit at your peril.
