They will jam it down our throats just like VAT. I use to think the information void with VAT was bad...it's even worse when discussing this NHI concept. Scary thing is, VAT impacted our money...NHI is going to impact our health and possibly our lives. Right now I'm not convinced NHI improves on that in a good way, not as disorganized as it is now.
The irony is...in the UK, you could wait months or years for a referral/consultation for the NHS...but if you have private health care, that consult can happen the next day...and more often than not, it is the EXACT same doctor!!
Don't get me wrong, in a perfect world, run by honest individuals, an NHI system would be wonderful, but it's not, and for a government official who abused the previous government corporations in the past with over staffing, to turn around and make a statement that NHI will absorb the job losses...well that's just a major nail in the coffin right there. It will end up being an over staffed, poorly run operation by people given job positions for political favours.
Read between the lines...the NHI is now the new government employment agency...they don't have BEC or BTC any more...NHI will end up with every dead beat unemployable persons who are guaranteed a PLP vote.
People will get all the details AFTER the launch...same way they did with VAT. Government don't want you to know the details BEFORE the launch, that way you cannot object to it fully or take to the streets in a riot. They are going to wait til AFTER to disclose all the dirty details and tell you what is covered and what is not...after they have decimated the private insurance industry. Then somehow spin it back on you for not objecting about it sooner, or raising your concerns.
