(Lucas: This is exactly what will be done. Privatising the system. In The Netherlands the system was just was gradually transformed into a private insurance system. What was an explosion in costs and premiums every year. The insured items and treatments, and care was every year less. Or you should pay more or had to pay an extra premium or price next to your premium. The insurers got enriched by the premiums and billions of profits while fewer services were provided. The insurers got more and more dictating doctors and pharmacist what to treat or not and subscribe or not. The system has nothing to do anymore with health nor care as it is just a profiteering of insurers as corporations that have only profits in mind. Healthcare, doctors and hospitals, treatment and care in general are not in any way to be mixed with business but should be general services available for all equally. The corporatization of our world even our political and basics like health, water, energy, public transport, etc, should stop. We need to get back to common sense and caring for all. Even USA’s privatization of healthcare has not brought access for all to healthcare nor has it become cheaper in any way, this also is the case in my country The Netherlands. It is time to stop the nonsense and all that is going on to enslave humans, control them and even pressure them with taxes, fines, premiums, permits for all sorts of things we do not need or have asked for. We need to stop the greed culture in healthcare, politics, government, business and financial institutions. Get real you all who have interests in the payments, bonuses and lobbyist gifts and given opportunities in power and control over people. Stop the bribes, embezzlement and fraud taking place in care, pharmacy, etc. We need to stop the private companies and layers of services that take in the money or do things double just because they can get payments for their services even if they are unnecessary or already done also by others. We need no layers of managers and controllers over those who work their socks off and really work in healthcare.We need only to care and help and share all we can in the right way upon this world, with all humans in mind not just a few taking most. )
Britain’s most senior doctor has warned the National Health Service may be forced to abandon the provision of universal free healthcare, as the organization faces further government cutbacks.
Professor Sir Bruce Keogh, the medical director of the NHS in England, said the NHS model, where tax payers fund the service (free at point of use), would not be “sustainable in the longer term.”
Speaking to the Guardian, Sir Bruce said: “If the NHS continues to function as it does now, it’s going to really struggle to cope because the model of delivery and service that we have at the moment is not fit for the future.”
He added that huge social changes were needed if the NHS was to survive, including encouraging British people to use hospital services less in order to reduce pressure.

Having saved the world markets from a 10% correction fate worse than death (or recession) in October with ‘hints’ of reigniting QE4, The Fed’s Jim Bullard is back to his jawboning best. Blaming The ECB’s looming unconventional policy move for the global bond market rally (as opposed to collapsing growth and disinflation), Bullard proclaims the domestic US economy is doing well with tailwinds from low rates and oil prices (just don’t tell the 7,000 Baker Hughes workers this morning) and tells WSJ’s Jon Hilsenrath that he wants to “get going” with rate increases warning that the funds rate is 400bps below normal.
