Someone needs to invent some kind of online calculator whereby we Brits can put in our recent healthcare appointments/meds/experiences and it’ll calculate what it would cost on average in the USA. Just to hammer home how bloody lucky we are to have the NHS and how fiercely we need to protect it.

Labour is putting its plans for Britain in the hands of private finance. It could end badly | Daniela Gabor Handing vital infrastructure to big finance will generate windfalls for investors and leave the rest of us worse off.

Enjoy!
