Meaning the likes of Richard Branson and Americans on Wall st are enjoying tax payer money?
I work for a privatised part of the NHS and our department actually makes money for the NHS. Productivity has been greatly increased (number of operations) I have worked in other areas of the NHS that are not privatised and prefer mine. The NHS is under a lot of stress with cutbacks, whereas my area has just had a £1 million boost. I got sent on a £1500 course within a few months of beginning the job.
We get good feedback and morale is high. Whereas some other parts are under pressure and delivering a poor service.
The NHS is on it's way out and I think (know they are deliberately trying to destroy it. The computer systems prove this as we are heading towards health insurance.
Foreign people are a drain on it, if they don't speak English, they legally need an interpretor ( paid for by NHS) because the cost of seeing that patient is higher, because the cost of the interpreter we have to rush them through (to save money) makes sense in one way but they're actually getting a better service than the English. Shorter waiting times and jumping the queue.
