Hey Ontario...

In 2015, 8 years ago & well before the pandemic..
Nearly a billion pounds (1.7B CDN) was given to 11 private healthcare companies to 'help' tackle the backlog of patients waiting for surgery in the UK.
It was the largest deal in NHS history at the time. It didn't work.

Today...β€œGreat swathes of the NHS are now being gobbled up by these 11 private companies, hungry for more profit."
The wait lists remain.

@gemelliz selling public HC to a for profit company? Where does the profit come from? Either cost goes up or services are decreased! It really very simple
