Exactly.

Private hospitals and doctors. Pay up front, claim it back from the state.

That's how it should work.

➊The bill abolishes the government’s legal duty to provide a national health service. This duty will move to “clinical commissioning groups” that will have to rely on private firms such as McKinsey and KPMG.

➋Competition will be enshrined at the heart of the health service. Lib Dem peers voted to support these competition clauses.

➌Private firms will be able to cherrypick services that are profitable, leaving only the more complex and costly healthcare in public hands.

➍The bill makes it legal to charge for health services that are currently free.
