Nope. My grandmother and extended family in the UK received great, high quality care as working class people for all of their lives. There have been more issues with access to care since right wingers started attacking and defunding the NHS, but hopefully Corbyn will soon put an end to all of that.

Unfortunately it is very likely that this will never happen. Realistically we're getting Boris as the next Prime Minister.

To be clear, I don't want this, but Corbyn getting in is a long shot. The best thing he could have done for the Labour party and the left in general was to stand down years ago.

The Tories in the UK have been following the "starve the beast" strategy: constrict funding to the NHS until the system starts to fall over, and then argue that privatization is the solution.
