Cllr Paul Bell | Working for Telegraph Hill

As we gather later for the rally to support the NHS, to resist a government that supports wasting £3billion on reorganisation not care, remind everyone that Tories are a cancer to the NHS. And like all cancers need to be removed. We all need to resist when this legislation comes into force. Tories and Lib Dems have no democratic right to do this and we must show them that they have no future. I am angry as I need the NHS to survive. The NHS has saved my life. With American style heathcare in this country, we would lose loved ones. I know people who have been refused health care in the USA due to "pre-existing medical conditions", who have had to watch children, parents and grand-parents die because the market says they are not to be treated. Many Tory and Lib Dem MPs are supported by private health care companies. Have a loook here: http://socialinvestigations.blogspot.com/2012/02/nhs-privatisation-compilation-of.html

The fight is not over. If you live in a marginal seat remind your Tory or Lib Dem MP that you will remember their actions. I, no matter how ill I become, will never allow a Tory or Lib Dem to be associated with anything else. If they come to your door, boo them. If you see them on the street, boo them; and if they ask for your vote tell them: go and get it from your private healthcare friends. Emotive words I know, but words that need to be spoken. Tories are a cancer to the NHS. Tories are bad for your health. The Lib Dems are sell outs.

In these bad times, politicians and in particular the Labour Party needs to be the voice of those being attacked by a nasty Conservative led coalition. I do despair as there are some decent people in the Lib Dems, but the parliamentary Lib Dem Party are the rats being played a tune by Pied Piper Cameron. The problem is that most of us will become the victims in one way or another. Personally, I will be the victim of NHS changes, but many others will see their lives turned upside down by people who are reforming the country to expand the difference between the rich and poor; squeezing the middle class out of democracy, as why would you vote when you are worried about losing your job? We are going down the American route, but more alarmingly, the American Nixon route. 

Nixon reformed the American healthcare ‘system’ to introduce the HMO – Health Maintenance Organisations, which are insurance companies who find ways of not paying people’s claims, leaving them in desperate debt and without treatment. Without treatment…well you can fill in the blanks. As I have previously written, the chilling words are always on the lips of these less than human individuals who say, ‘pre-existing medical condition’ followed by ‘your claim has been rejected’. Children, the elderly, the sick, the disabled are left without treatment in the pursuit of profit.

I pour scorn on all those people who advocate this health-care system. It is a death sentence to people and a blight on civilisation.

You do not need to take my word for it. I would recommend you have a read of this blog: http://onegpprotest.org/

British people must start to resist more or end up blindly sleepwalking into Nixon’s America.

Barack Obama's stepmother joined in the debate, saying that she owed her life to the NHS. Kezia Obama, 66, who now lives in Bracknell, Berkshire, suffered chronic kidney failure on a visit to the UK seven years ago.

She told the News of the World: "I was very down at the time but luckily I was here in Britain, in what was then a foreign country to me, where the doctors, nurses and surgeons cared for me like I was their own child. It's very simple. I owe my life to the NHS. If it wasn't for the NHS I wouldn't have been alive to see our family's greatest moment – when Barack became president and was sworn into the White House."

This story was first reported in 2009.

This government has no electoral mandate to make changes to the NHS. This is especially true if you consider that the World Health Organisation last year rated the NHS as one of the most efficient and best health services in the world.

Therefore, please write to Her Majesty and ask her to refrain from giving Royal Assent to the bill if it passes the Parliamentary stages.
