"The health system in the UK cannot cope with the rising number of under-65s with long-term medical conditions and needs "radical change", says a study in The Lancet."
"Health care can be converted into a market, but it is a market of winners and losers. Those with good health or good income are likely to benefit from market forces, whereas their polar opposites will be damaged."
"We are now in a new world order, largely planned and enacted by the Chicago School of economics, and promoted by successive Governments. I would strongly recommend reading "The Shock Doctrine" by the Canadian author Naomi Klein, to look at how this process has been achieved throughout the world. You will see how it is being done in England."
"Historians now have the black and white evidence from our own judicial system that the Tory party have betrayed the trust of the nation in the way they introduced and passed this bill. History will not forget this utterly shameful deed, and I sincerely hope that the voters do not either."
"Clegg’s obsession with power made him Cameron’s facilitator – without him, even had he managed to cling on, Cameron would have been powerless."
"To make matters worse, the bill makes provision for charging for services. It removes the statutory duty to provide public health services for children, smoking cessation services, alcohol and drug services and a raft of other crucial services. As I understand it, the only services that CCGs are obligated to arrange are ambulance services and “emergency care”."
""This is an ideologically driven bill and the Lib Dems capitulated. Ministers lied to get it through. I know it's unusually unparliamentary language but I am really horrified. They have sold us a pup.""
"Nurses knocked the creature off and killed it. Hospital bosses claimed it was a field mouse."
"Why not try to enlist our friends, subscribers, Twitter followers, and other readers to spread the word? I suggest, on appropriate posts, adding a footnote along these lines:-"
"NHS patients will be collectively f***ed for the sake of Cameron’s political vanity."
"So - a simple question - if the new Government proposals are so good, why are there threats to silence those who disagree?"
"Andrew Lansley, the health secretary, has been accused of “bullying” NHS staff who speak out against his NHS shakeup after a senior doctor who signed a letter criticising the proposed changes was threatened with disciplinary action."
"The e-petition calling on the Government to drop its Health and Social Care Bill has now reached 139,400 signatures to become the second most popular campaign on Number 10’s official petition site – having already passed the 100,000 milestone to qualify for a debate in the House of Commons."
"A third of family doctors say their patients are being put at risk in NHS hospitals because of ‘dangerously’ poor care, a survey has revealed.
They liken wards to ‘factory production lines’ and admit they would not refer their own family.
One said he would not even like his dog to be treated at one hospital."
"It lays the blame for its failings squarely at the feet of the “political skill”, or lack thereof, of the government, and Andrew Lansley in particular."
"With Ed Miliband citing calls for Andrew Lansley’s scalp from the Tory Reform Group at PMQs yesterday, it has now emerged that senior Conservative figures urged David Cameron to ditch the Health and Social Care Bill as long as six weeks ago. These are thought to include a “senior cabinet minister” and Tory whips."
"1) He doesn’t give a shit.
2) He doesn’t give a fuck."
"They’ve pocketed billions in bonuses. They’ve wrecked the global economy. Now the fat cats want to bleed the NHS dry."
"Don’t let them dodge the question by getting into a discussion about private vs public / Labour vs Conservative or whatever. Stick to the question – nobody voted for these reforms, they were not in any party manifesto so what are you doing to oppose this undemocratic bill being passed?
Remember, there is only one thing MPs really care about. Winning their own seat at the next election. This is even more important to them than their own party winning the next election.
If they think they will be losing constituency votes, they will do whatever it takes to save their precious little asses."
