The purpose of the NHS is to maintain the productivity of the subjects of the Queen. Productivity = taxes paid. Unable to pay taxes? Too bad. Cost to return you to tax paying status exceeds the taxes you can be expected to pay? So sorry. Go die. Marc Brown is part of the Sheriff of Nottingham's posse, out to extract every last pence from the sheeple. Resistence is Futile, you will be ruled. Remember this.... This makes good sense.

As you must know the only reason cuts are being talked about in any sector of the economy is because you Americans have half-bankrupted the world. And even if taxes were cut only the well-off could afford the healthcare premiums. As you've found out in the US the fastest way to fuel runaway insurance rises is to have rampant privatisation. I suggest you read up on a little history and find out why the NHS was founded in the first place. You know not what you write ECM.

It's true of course that if you withdraw funding you will have to cut services - but that's not going to happen as the new government has explicitly ringfenced health. And cutting the NHS could only have one result - driving up costs to the consumer up as they have to buy private insurance and leaving behind many as you did in the US until Obama came along.
