The post you are reporting:
You are absolutely right Barry; looking at private Hospitals they provide faster and in some cases a better service than the NHS. But this already exposes the awful 2 tiered system we have. If you have money you can get treated faster, and potentially have a better chance of survival. So in theory, if you take this model to it's conclusion, the poorer people, once referred to as the working class, are less purposeful or valuable than those with more money or power. This isn't progress; this is a feudal class system, exploiting many for the benefit of a few. It's also unsustainable, the army amusingly shows us exactly the sort of model that is efficient, the infantry at the bottom of the hierarchy, when injured are taken in and cared, it is in the interest of the people at the top of the hierarchy, there through their merits. (This 'Confucianism' does not fully apply within the army of course because it is possible to hold rank through birth right!) Without everyone being supported everything, even the people at the top will suffer, it is in our interests to look after everyone, regardless of wealth or class.
Schools again by becoming led by finance (and I'm not talking about PFI schools and academies but Public School Oh the irony)) If the best education is that which is paid for, then this whole jobs for the boy, and perpetuation of a class system carries on. It's just so old fashioned and meaningless. Just because someone is richer than someone else this should not give them more of a right to health or education.
