@@summess5567 thank you. I live in the US and think the NHS as an idea is the most equitable way to deliver health care to all citizens. How to carry out out this process in an efficient and cost effective manner is the challenge. I pay a premium each month for my family’s health care which is considered a very good plan but it is not available to all…
@@timphillips9954 I live in the US and pay a premium monthly the rest is subsidized by my employer..it is an excellent plan but not available to all… that is the issue in the US. Health care plans are now subsidized by the government for the lower income and even free for some. I like the idea of a NHS but would not want my own government administering it…

Speaking as Yank, I wish my country had also started single-payer health care after WWII. 🙁 We entered the war later than the UK. And as bad as Pearl Harbor was, I don’t think we in the States had any real idea just how bad the Blitz was. And I only recently learned more details about the Nazi V-1 rockets the summer of 1944. It took the Allies defenses a number of weeks to get a handle on the situation, which was to use anti-aircraft artillery shells with radar in the nose. Yes, both a small radio transmitter and receiver. It’s called a “proximity fuse,” and please google it if you’re interested. We on the U.S. side did not have as awful, or as long, or as searing an experience on the home front. We entered the war 2+ years late, generally because we were isolationist due to WWI. Of course, it goes without saying that once we entered, our soldiers and sailors showed the same bravery and dedication as those of the UK, Soviet Union, Canada, and all other Allied nations. Now, in talking about social justice, I think we Yanks did lead the way with the Americans with Disability Act of 1990. The core idea is you as employer or boss need to look for reasonable accommodations. That is, look for ways to help the situation work out, not for excuses of why it won’t. And I think other nations later copied this. So, we’ve done some stuff on the social justice front. Just not as much as I’d like! 🌈 🏄🏽♂️ 🦋

Well done for such a clearly explained video of why the NHS is so important to this nation and why other countries should be following our lead to look after its electorate. Thank you for this film and I will be forwarding this on.
Beveridge was commissioned in 1941 to prepare a report on Social Insurance. His December 1942 report contained a section 'Comprehensive Health and Rehabilitation Services', which set out the NHS concept. Churchill stated in a March 1943 broadcast "We must establish on broad and solid foundations a national health service." also coining the phrase "from the cradle to the grave." The government worked up plans and Health Minister Conservative Henry Willink published a white paper 'A National Health Service' in March 1944, which contains the things the public value re the NHS. The establishment of the NHS & Welfare State were coalition government policies agreed across all parties for implementation at the end of hostilities. Labour were elected in 1945 on a platform of nationalising industry. The NHS would have been established whoever Attlee appointed Minister of Health / whichever party won the 1945 general election. The only significant opposition to the establishment of the NHS was from the British Medical Association. The relevant section of Beveridge and the 1944 white paper can both be found on the Socialist Health Association website and Churchill's broadcast of 21 March 1943 can be found by keyword search.
Stating that Churchill stated in a broadcast that 'we must have a national Health Service' is disengenuous. The words 'NHS' are the same as what Labour fought to bring into existence in 1948 but that does not mean he was supporting the same thing. The Tories told people their 'Berexit' plans would mean "mnore money for the NHS" and hinted at more democracy but it's quite clear those things were always directly opposed to what they were really pushing 'Leave' for. We can't even even claim that Churchill's vague support for a popular policy during WW2 was the basis of a real policy - let alone one he'd seek funding for. There was massive demand for ;'Homes fit for hwerors', proper pensions, welfare and a state health service after WW1 buit the Tories opposed it then and since. Churchill's Tories voted against the formation of the NHS 21 times before the act was passed, including both the Second and Third reading. Churchill sincerely believed that the NHS was a"first step to turn Britain into a National Socialist economy." The Tory Press, on the other hand (mouthpiece of the Tories) compared the NHS to 'The Gestapo'. After taking control of the country in 1951, Churchill intended to abolish the NHS, but was convinced by his Cabinet this was electoral suicide. The decision was made to subtly underfund and overburden it and 'let it collapse'. Whatveer the issues of the formation of the NHS, Thatcher began the program of deliberate underfunding, Major began PFI and the Post-2010 Tories have ensured the service is starved of finance, overburdeened and more momney if filtered from the NHS into Private Medicine. In addition to putting in Executive Managers (appointyed at vast cost from the Business Sector) to sabotage the service, they also put in a gagging order on all staff in 2019 as 'Any statement will be propaganda for Labour'. The gag has not been listed and the BBC and C4 have not since been permitted to do a report on the accurate state of NHS finance and management. THanks for your well written and well reasearched comment. It does you credit.
@@summess5567 Apart from nationalisation of hospitals (Bevan caving in to empire building civil servants) the 1946 National Health Service Act was as Willink and Johnston's 1944 National Health Service white paper. Conservatives did not vote against the NHS bill, they set down reasoned amendments welcoming NHS, but opposing nationalisation of hospitals. Your supposed Churchill 'quote' is a ludicrous fake. Your nonsense about gagging orders demonstrates your detachment from reality.
@@billellson2472 The nostrum that Civil Servants 'build empires' in providing better public services whilst Business 'just keeps to itself' is standard Telegraph tub-thumping. The largest 'Empire' the Civil Service has built must be the MIlitary. THe NHS and Education represent the next two. According to the NeoCons, these must go and be replaced by Business. Again, using the word 'NHS' to describe something utterly different to what Labour introduced is a common Tory trope - and why 'NHS England' exists as a distraction. When the only things left of the NHS are (as planned) a skeleton A&E and Plague Service, they will still be able to say "The NHS is still in public hands". Just as the Police, Crime and Sentencing Courts Act "will not prevent protest" - so long as they're passed as 'non-disruptive'... and silent, static vigils have already been banned ... because ... Ms Patel found them 'diisruptive'. Weasle-words are the very essence of Politics. Following NuLabor's pulling the NHS back from the brink in '96, why have the Tories overseen the death of the NHS?
@@summess5567 Only municipal & voluntary (charitable foundations) hospitals were nationalised in 1948. (Civil servants thought they could do a better job than elected representatives.) No private hospitals, nor any other private health assets, were nationalised. As already explained: "Apart from nationalisation of hospitals (Bevan caving in to empire building civil servants) the 1946 National Health Service Act was as Willink and Johnston's 1944 National Health Service white paper." It would be news to thousands of hard working NHS doctors, nurses and other health professionals that they do not exist. Have you ever actually set foot in England?
@@billellson2472 I see you're getting back to personal insults One of the Tory Party's main charges against Bevan was that he had completely abandoned their Willink plan as it was unworkable. Bevan happily accepted the Tory accusation that he'd overthrown the Willink plan, which he described as: "a hopelessly impractical compromise based not upon functional considerations but merely upon a desire to conciliate conflicting interests”. Unlike Bevan's creation of a system that worked, the Tories were creating a sdmokescreen (very like all of their policies, from 'Just Tell Sid' to 'Brexit') to convince people to do something that would NOT be the NHS as we now know it. A three-day debate on the second reading of the Bill was held in Parliament from 30th April '46. The Tories objected to the Bill on the grounds that it would lead to a possible future full-time salaried service for doctors, and was a threat to the patient-doctor relationship. They claimed it undermined local government, and wrecked the voluntary hospital system. Above all, they raged - ‘Bevan had abandoned many of the precepts of the Willink White Paper’! The second reading was carried by 359 votes to 172, the Tories voting against. During the Committee stage there were major arguments with Willink and the Tory lawyers who were helping him. I wonder why you are pushing the notuion that one needs to be at a place to understand it's history - we on Earth know a lot miore about the moon than anyone living there. You clearly don't know any Nurses, Doctors or Managers working there and care far less. Clearly, to you the issue is the Tory's Innocence, not saving the system. How do you think the NHS could be saved from it's current death-struggles? By funding it properly as it was before 1983 or by privatising it still further? That's really all that matters.
NHS was well meaning but flawed idea and its present model needs to be seriously considered a) "Cradle to grave"... Health care is a personal responsibility not the goverment b) Government is inefficient in everything it does, NHS is not different as we could clearly see on this past winter d) Because its "free" at the point of service there are no available hospital beds on any hospitals and waiting times are getting worse and worse e) NHS is a bottomless pit, no amount of money or resources will ever be enough to make it work as long as its "Free" The concept of "Free" is what makes it the darling of many people, however it's its own undoing, since demand is outstripping supply....So the only alternative is to charge an amount at point of service, that way you will constrain demand, the other is to raise taxes
a) Cradle to grave can't be a personal responsibility because getting ill is more a matter of luck than anything else and not everyone is earning at every point in their lives. Some people would be unlucky enough to have the type of condition or disease that no one could afford to treat unless they were a millionaire. b) That's a sweeping generalisation and just downright prejuduce. When the NHS was totally under government provision it's admin costs were 6% which was the lowest of any healthcare system in the world. Also private healthcare providers have to make a profit for shareholders and that it money not being spent on healthcare. Also the incentive in private healthcare is to 'overtreat' and 'overmedicalise' the wealthier elements of society because it earns more profit. The profit motive for a doctor can get in the way of caring for patients if there is a conflict of interest. c) The Blair Labour government got waiting lists down to their lowest levels ever as well as A&E waiting times. The waiting lists have expanded and waiting time targets have not been met since the Tory government were elected and as a first priority, decided to spend £3bn on an unnecessary re-organisation of the NHS purely so that more private provision could be brought in. They consider the NHS primarily as a brand name under which more private providers can be brought in. Also much NHS spending is wasted on expensive Agency nurses because the Tory government deliberately held down nursing pay below inflation levels for many years. Money was wasted on expensive and inflexible PFI schemes which the NHS was forced to use for hospital building and maintenance and the purchasing and contracting system brought in to make private provision easier required many accountants and management consultants to operate as well as taking up doctors and nurses time. So the administration costs went up and a result of the government forcing in unnecessary bureaucratic systems. d) It was deliberate government policy to reduce the number of hospital beds. The theory was that more and more people could be treated as day case patients or in their local communities but that didn't take into account an ageing population and not enough money was put into community care. d) It's not a bottomless pit because GPs are the 'gatekeepers' for NHS care, particularly hospital care to ensure the 'worried well' aren't being sent to hospital and NICE ensure that ineffective expensive drugs aren't available on the NHS. Resources are put into Public Health too to try and ensure a healthier population through health education.
Being 'Free' is why the Rich regard Labour and the Planet as so worthless. On the other hand, the public do not regard the nHS as worthless - it's the most treasured thing we have in the UK. a) Flies in the face of the entire history of medicine. b) In fact, the most efficeint systems are Governmental. Competing interests, fighting against each other and cheating the customer for short term ghain is notoriously wasteful and inefficient. At the outbreak of war, no country says "This is serious - time to privatise the armed forces!". During WW2, the UK and USA were run on Socialist lines... and the countryies laidf the grounds for massive efficiencies which stood us in good stead for the next 3 deacades. After privatisation, they entered a decline. MIssing out c) apparently. d) The US health system is bankrupt and at third world levels. The most efficient health services are on Socialist lines.. This annoys Capitalists a lot. e) It's often stated that the NHS does and costs more than it used to. Somehow NeoCVons see this as a BAD thing... yet insist that 'Continual Growth' is so 'Essentail' that all corporations must grow every year at the cost of the economy and the planet. What's wrong with supplying a service which never has to advertise and which no-one can ever get enough of and becomes MORE affordable, the more people there are paying into it? Jealous?
"Free"? Who are you trying to kid. It was only "Free" for the work-shy, FreeLOADING, Tax Dodgers amongst us with their offshore tax havens. Otherwise known as "Parasites on the skin of Society".

Aneurin Bevan. Say his name!
I'm with you brother
Beveridge was commissioned in 1941 to prepare a report on Social Insurance. His December 1942 report contained a section 'Comprehensive Health and Rehabilitation Services', which set out the NHS concept. Churchill stated in a March 1943 broadcast "We must establish on broad and solid foundations a national health service." also coining the phrase "from the cradle to the grave." The government worked up plans and Health Minister Conservative Henry Willink published a white paper 'A National Health Service' in March 1944, which contains the things the public value re the NHS.
The establishment of the NHS & Welfare State were coalition government policies agreed across all parties for implementation at the end of hostilities. Labour were elected in 1945 on a platform of nationalising industry. The NHS would have been established whoever Attlee appointed Minister of Health / whichever party won the 1945 general election. The only significant opposition to the establishment of the NHS was from the British Medical Association.
The relevant section of Beveridge and the 1944 white paper can both be found on the Socialist Health Association website and Churchill's broadcast of 21 March 1943 can be found by keyword search.
Stating that Churchill stated in a broadcast that 'we must have a national Health Service' is disengenuous.
The words 'NHS' are the same as what Labour fought to bring into existence in 1948 but that does not mean he was supporting the same thing. The Tories told people their 'Berexit' plans would mean "mnore money for the NHS" and hinted at more democracy but it's quite clear those things were always directly opposed to what they were really pushing 'Leave' for.
We can't even even claim that Churchill's vague support for a popular policy during WW2 was the basis of a real policy - let alone one he'd seek funding for.
There was massive demand for ;'Homes fit for hwerors', proper pensions, welfare and a state health service after WW1 buit the Tories opposed it then and since.
Churchill's Tories voted against the formation of the NHS 21 times before the act was passed, including both the Second and Third reading. Churchill sincerely believed that the NHS was a"first step to turn Britain into a National Socialist economy."
The Tory Press, on the other hand (mouthpiece of the Tories) compared the NHS to 'The Gestapo'.
After taking control of the country in 1951, Churchill intended to abolish the NHS, but was convinced by his Cabinet this was electoral suicide. The decision was made to subtly underfund and overburden it and 'let it collapse'.
Whatveer the issues of the formation of the NHS, Thatcher began the program of deliberate underfunding, Major began PFI and the Post-2010 Tories have ensured the service is starved of finance, overburdeened and more momney if filtered from the NHS into Private Medicine. In addition to putting in Executive Managers (appointyed at vast cost from the Business Sector) to sabotage the service, they also put in a gagging order on all staff in 2019 as 'Any statement will be propaganda for Labour'.
The gag has not been listed and the BBC and C4 have not since been permitted to do a report on the accurate state of NHS finance and management.
THanks for your well written and well reasearched comment.
It does you credit.
@@summess5567 Apart from nationalisation of hospitals (Bevan caving in to empire building civil servants) the 1946 National Health Service Act was as Willink and Johnston's 1944 National Health Service white paper.
Conservatives did not vote against the NHS bill, they set down reasoned amendments welcoming NHS, but opposing nationalisation of hospitals.
Your supposed Churchill 'quote' is a ludicrous fake.
Your nonsense about gagging orders demonstrates your detachment from reality.
@@billellson2472 The nostrum that Civil Servants 'build empires' in providing better public services whilst Business 'just keeps to itself' is standard Telegraph tub-thumping. The largest 'Empire' the Civil Service has built must be the MIlitary. THe NHS and Education represent the next two. According to the NeoCons, these must go and be replaced by Business.
Again, using the word 'NHS' to describe something utterly different to what Labour introduced is a common Tory trope - and why 'NHS England' exists as a distraction.
When the only things left of the NHS are (as planned) a skeleton A&E and Plague Service, they will still be able to say "The NHS is still in public hands".
Just as the Police, Crime and Sentencing Courts Act "will not prevent protest" - so long as they're passed as 'non-disruptive'... and silent, static vigils have already been banned ... because ... Ms Patel found them 'diisruptive'.
Weasle-words are the very essence of Politics.
Following NuLabor's pulling the NHS back from the brink in '96, why have the Tories overseen the death of the NHS?
@@summess5567 Only municipal & voluntary (charitable foundations) hospitals were nationalised in 1948. (Civil servants thought they could do a better job than elected representatives.)
No private hospitals, nor any other private health assets, were nationalised.
As already explained:
"Apart from nationalisation of hospitals (Bevan caving in to empire building civil servants) the 1946 National Health Service Act was as Willink and Johnston's 1944 National Health Service white paper."
It would be news to thousands of hard working NHS doctors, nurses and other health professionals that they do not exist. Have you ever actually set foot in England?
@@billellson2472 I see you're getting back to personal insults
One of the Tory Party's main charges against Bevan was that he had completely abandoned their Willink plan as it was unworkable. Bevan happily accepted the Tory accusation that he'd overthrown the Willink plan, which he described as: "a hopelessly impractical compromise based not upon functional considerations but merely upon a desire to conciliate conflicting interests”.
Unlike Bevan's creation of a system that worked, the Tories were creating a sdmokescreen (very like all of their policies, from 'Just Tell Sid' to 'Brexit') to convince people to do something that would NOT be the NHS as we now know it.
A three-day debate on the second reading of the Bill was held in Parliament from 30th April '46. The Tories objected to the Bill on the grounds that it would lead to a possible future full-time salaried service for doctors, and was a threat to the patient-doctor relationship. They claimed it undermined local government, and wrecked the voluntary hospital system. Above all, they raged - ‘Bevan had abandoned many of the precepts of the Willink White Paper’!
The second reading was carried by 359 votes to 172, the Tories voting against. During the Committee stage there were major arguments with Willink and the Tory lawyers who were helping him.
I wonder why you are pushing the notuion that one needs to be at a place to understand it's history - we on Earth know a lot miore about the moon than anyone living there. You clearly don't know any Nurses, Doctors or Managers working there and care far less.
Clearly, to you the issue is the Tory's Innocence, not saving the system.
How do you think the NHS could be saved from it's current death-struggles? By funding it properly as it was before 1983 or by privatising it still further?
That's really all that matters.

great stuff
Yes I agree with this video

NHS was well meaning but flawed idea and its present model needs to be seriously considered
a) "Cradle to grave"... Health care is a personal responsibility not the goverment
b) Government is inefficient in everything it does, NHS is not different as we could clearly see on this past winter
d) Because its "free" at the point of service there are no available hospital beds on any hospitals and waiting times are getting worse and worse
e) NHS is a bottomless pit, no amount of money or resources will ever be enough to make it work as long as its "Free"
The concept of "Free" is what makes it the darling of many people, however it's its own undoing, since demand is outstripping supply....So the only alternative is to charge an amount at point of service, that way you will constrain demand, the other is to raise taxes
If you don’t like it don’t use it.
a) Cradle to grave can't be a personal responsibility because getting ill is more a matter of luck than anything else and not everyone is earning at every point in their lives. Some people would be unlucky enough to have the type of condition or disease that no one could afford to treat unless they were a millionaire.
b) That's a sweeping generalisation and just downright prejuduce. When the NHS was totally under government provision it's admin costs were 6% which was the lowest of any healthcare system in the world. Also private healthcare providers have to make a profit for shareholders and that it money not being spent on healthcare. Also the incentive in private healthcare is to 'overtreat' and 'overmedicalise' the wealthier elements of society because it earns more profit. The profit motive for a doctor can get in the way of caring for patients if there is a conflict of interest.
c) The Blair Labour government got waiting lists down to their lowest levels ever as well as A&E waiting times. The waiting lists have expanded and waiting time targets have not been met since the Tory government were elected and as a first priority, decided to spend £3bn on an unnecessary re-organisation of the NHS purely so that more private provision could be brought in. They consider the NHS primarily as a brand name under which more private providers can be brought in. Also much NHS spending is wasted on expensive Agency nurses because the Tory government deliberately held down nursing pay below inflation levels for many years. Money was wasted on expensive and inflexible PFI schemes which the NHS was forced to use for hospital building and maintenance and the purchasing and contracting system brought in to make private provision easier required many accountants and management consultants to operate as well as taking up doctors and nurses time. So the administration costs went up and a result of the government forcing in unnecessary bureaucratic systems.
d) It was deliberate government policy to reduce the number of hospital beds. The theory was that more and more people could be treated as day case patients or in their local communities but that didn't take into account an ageing population and not enough money was put into community care.
d) It's not a bottomless pit because GPs are the 'gatekeepers' for NHS care, particularly hospital care to ensure the 'worried well' aren't being sent to hospital and NICE ensure that ineffective expensive drugs aren't available on the NHS. Resources are put into Public Health too to try and ensure a healthier population through health education.
Another neo-liberal ideologue who knows the price of everything but the value of nothing.
Being 'Free' is why the Rich regard Labour and the Planet as so worthless. On the other hand, the public do not regard the nHS as worthless - it's the most treasured thing we have in the UK.
a) Flies in the face of the entire history of medicine.
b) In fact, the most efficeint systems are Governmental. Competing interests, fighting against each other and cheating the customer for short term ghain is notoriously wasteful and inefficient.
At the outbreak of war, no country says "This is serious - time to privatise the armed forces!".
During WW2, the UK and USA were run on Socialist lines... and the countryies laidf the grounds for massive efficiencies which stood us in good stead for the next 3 deacades. After privatisation, they entered a decline.
MIssing out c) apparently.
d) The US health system is bankrupt and at third world levels. The most efficient health services are on Socialist lines.. This annoys Capitalists a lot.
e) It's often stated that the NHS does and costs more than it used to. Somehow NeoCVons see this as a BAD thing... yet insist that 'Continual Growth' is so 'Essentail' that all corporations must grow every year at the cost of the economy and the planet.
What's wrong with supplying a service which never has to advertise and which no-one can ever get enough of and becomes MORE affordable, the more people there are paying into it?
Jealous?
"Free"? Who are you trying to kid. It was only "Free" for the work-shy, FreeLOADING, Tax Dodgers amongst us with their offshore tax havens. Otherwise known as "Parasites on the skin of Society".
awful audio.
