QUITE a lot of emphasis is being made regarding the National Health Service running at a massive loss.

Nobody mentions the country that has the finest health service in the world. Why?

Because it is an unashamed communist country, Cuba.

When Britain decided to nationalise the health service, Nye Bevan and Clem Atlee kowtowed to the specialists and dentists and allowed them to take private patients as well as NHS.

No such deal was done in Cuba, it was no choice.

But that decision was to serve the best interest of the country not greed.

If this government had the guts to stand up for what it was elected to do, then maybe we could see light at the end of the tunnel.
