  I didn't watch the programme (It's BBC so it's bound to bias in one way or another regardless of their charter) but it's obvious to Me that the NHS is unsustainable. Period, as the Americans say.
  A great Utopian idea but a model which relies on a country being in profit or growing their economy if you like.
  We are not growing economically. On the contrary We are a steadily shrinking economy. Worse than that our economy is shrinking at an alarming rate. It's totally and utterly unsustainable.
  People get their knickers in a twist because of the closure of a library here, a sports centre there.
  Isn't everyone waking up to what is staring them in the face?
  There is no money.
  We borrow more than We can afford to pay back. The deficit is growing, despite of the government's promise to bring it down and the national debt is absolutely vast.
  It's pure fantasy to suggest that the NHS will remain the same as it was when it was first invented.
  In fact when it was a baby one of the first things thousands did was to get their teeth extracted so they could have dentures for free.
  Multiply that a thousand times, what with people demanding their right to gastric bands, cosmetic surgery and even paracetamol on prescription regardless of the fact that you can buy the same in a supermarket for 30 pence, forget the casualties who appear on a regular basis after fight club on a Saturday night, one must see that at some point the whole thing will collapse.
  Add to that the vast amounts of money wasted by way of gerrymandering by successive governments whose sole aim is re-election and We have a recipe for the demise of the NHS as We know it.
