Not to fault the article but I thought the posting tendency was not to editorialise in the header? The BBC site says:

Patients in England at risk as NHS and care 'gridlocked'

Twelve years of Tory cuts, austerity, and mismanagement will do that to a public service. I suspect things will change at the next general election.

It's the same everywhere, sadly. Seems like a natural rule at this point for right-wing governments trashing public services. It's the same in my country.

It's cool how conservatives who don't really believe in or want a universal healthcare can run such a system for a decade and then that system suddenly mysteriously stops working. One of those great unknown phenomenons, like black holes, that will just continue to defy explanation.

The same thing happened in my country. Conservatives took power for a while and suddenly free education wasn't viable, healthcare got worse and worse and despite being known as the party of "sound economic management" and "the guys that fix the budget after the other team spends all the money", we are left with a massive budget deficit. They almost succeeded in compromising superannuation so that people can sabotage their own retirement funds to invest in the way-overheated property market too. Scary stuff.
