how is the compulsory insurance going to be enforced!? bailiffs debt collection companies prison through the tax system (well if it's this way, then why not continue with the current system)

NO you're still putting your health into the hands of an insurance company, whose job is to make its shareholders and underwriters lots of money. lots of money that should go into a taxpayer funded NHS when has an insurance company ever had the interests of the client first (yes you become a client and not a patient you become a spreadsheet of affordability, with the cheapest option being seen as the best option (and we all know that's not true) it will then cost people significantly more as you have to give profit to shareholders and underwriters on top of the cost of treatment. also the NHS is a far bigger thing than just A&E or seeing a consultant, wheelchair services, social care, adaptations and community care, GP services, mental health trusts and so much more (just look at American costs in the link below) only an idiot would choose to pay farpre.for an insurance based system than a deliberately underfunded NHS if you think insurance based healthcare is a good idea read this 5yr old Reddit post (I will put link as a reply so it's easy to copy) https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/piok3m/americans_do_you_want_universal_healthcare_whywhy/

feel free to add it ad verbatim and as long as it's in a way that makes sure that I'm completely against any insurance or non taxpayer funded system and that profiteering from healthcare should not be an acceptable alternative. you can add it as bikerlifestyle thanks for listening,

I would fund it properly, the ONS website shows exactly where the worst direct underfunding started pre 2010 under labour (and no I’m not a labourite) it was funded with a 6.5% pa increase the Tories and lib dems got in and dropped it to 1% then 4 years later when they dumped the Dems, they increased it to 1.6% where it stay and the damage was done, this was just a single direct underfunding stream, there are more. then there is indirect underfunding, such as narrowing access criteria for those needing support in every section from wheelchair services to district nurses, from occupational therapy to mental health trusts. I would have two A& departments, one for actual emergencies and an out of hours GP run by 111, but they would be close to each other, and triage would direct patients to the required dept profiteering on health services should be very limited, but it does have its place, as it’s far more reactive to needs than the NHS and seems to help speed up getting things moving. but the market shouldn’t dictate what we pay them, statute should, ie an acceptable profit level of fee for providing that service, so they can’t just get a foothold and hold the system to any sort of blackmail also if someone wants to opt out of the NHS they should get a reduction on their NI of a certain percentage, but they will still be able to use A&E and extended service, but they would be able to use the gp or consultants or regular healthcare, they can pay for their private healthcare and use that

the weakness is the money as soon as you incentivise ANYTHING to do with health, the prices go through the roof. followed by commercial greed. I take it you’re not disabled nor have you used the NHS to levels outside of normal life, with the odd health scare. if you had, and you relied on it as much as many people do, you wouldn’t even be considering this. I’ve had 35 years of having a rare illness that is not seen or looked for in the country, which then causes far more serious issues and since then, I’ve accessed ongoing consultants (2 to 5) depending on current needs then follows on to external NHS and local authority health support much as disabled facilities grants, district nurses occupational therapy, ambulances etc.. you will obviously build a copay system into your system, this will stop people going to the GP, hospital especially working people as they are usually on the line between financial hardship and having enough for a cheap holiday and if you are financially comfortable, you will never understand how it will affect people who are one boiler breakdown away from bankruptcy, because we all know that any expensive income is seen as a target have you even heard of fairer funding?! insurance WILL cost more, personally I believe that the NHS should be run by the NI budget, if you asked most people if they would want to buy insurance or pay a few quid extra in tax/NI to fund the NHS properly showing them what the actual cost were you would get the answer you need what the obsession with the NHS healthcare should never be for sale, it’s a slippery slope profiteering ALWAYS increases costs governments will then cut support for the poor, working class and vulnerable after being paid by their healthcare business donors. . how about you tell people exactly what you believe the costs and downfalls will be, instead of making it into a pretty infographic with selective points that are populist talking points do another infographic highlighting the dangers and downside, or is transparency a dirty word. it’s like Brexit, where statements about some people will suffer (I wonder who always suffers and takes the brunt, it’s certainly not those at the top
