The Scottish NHS and nurses reached a pay deal in...February.

Rather than build on that to bring a quick end to strikes, Tories refused meetings and offered far lower wages.

A Government with a conscience would seek a swift resolution to the strikes.

They'd want to reward staff that work extra hours to cover staff shortages, the same staff that risked their health to work largely unprotected during the pandemic, because they are the people caring for the sick & nursing the dying.

Instead, they deepen the crisis to undermine the NHS to con people into giving away their free healthcare so Tories can enrich themselves with our suffering.

If Tories can convince people the NHS can't cope or has failed them, there will be enough gullible people who will swallow the lie, ignore the fact it's Tories that deliberately destroyed the service & it's all a huge con so wealthy Tories can enrich Tory donors with an everlasting cash-cow that they'll use to milk the sick & elderly of their savings.

It'll be a total downgrade, cost more, be restrictive & increase suffering... with absoloutely no way back to a free NHS.

I don't understand people who are willing to pay more for private healthcare, but won't pay more for the #NHS

Private healthcare always has a layer of profit. It will *always* cost more.

The cost difference between the NHS & private care is astronomical.

On the NHS, for hospital care you only pay for prescriptions & if you have no money, even those are free.

With private healthcare, you pay for everything, at full price, & if you have no money or no insurance (or it's an existing condition), tough, your treatment stops until you pay up.

The financial difference can be a bill of £30,000+ in private medicine against zero personal cost in the NHS.
