1) It's Ours.
The public built the NHS (National Health Service). Members of the public pay for the NHS through tax. The NHS has made many members of the public, in so many ways. The NHS is the public's, how dare anybody try to dismantle it.
2) Free Health Care Is a Right To Anybody With a Genuine Illness.
You shouldn't have to pay to get your life saved. It should be a right, if your illness is genuine. If it is self inflicted for example if you've drank too much one night, or been smoking despite knowing the consequences, then yes you should pay for your treatment.
But if you've got a genuine illness, such as faulty limbs, or cancer then you should have a right to free health care.
Why I say this is because so many NHS beds are being taken up by people who simply cannot control their bad habits. If they were more responsible, they wouldn't be in that hospital bed. Because of their lack of responsibility, there are not enough beds for people such as the elderly, who need have served Britain well over the years and now need help during their final years on this planet. Why are they getting left in corridors?
3) It Brings The British Public Together
I believe the NHS unites the British public. Most people in the UK were born on the NHS the midwife who helped deliver them was apart of the NHS, as was the doctor who helped their mothers through out their pregnancy.
Many people also die in the NHS. In an NHS hospital bed, being looked after by NHS nurses and doctors saying their final goodbyes.
One thing the British public all have in common is the NHS. In the NHS there is no such thing as colour, or discrimination everybody is just one thing. A human being. Whether you are a worker or a patient.
4) People Have Devoted Their Lives To The NHS
You'll get people who have been working there ever since it started to now. Not because they expect any kind of recognition or reward, but because they are helping society, it is the right thing to do.
Imagine watching something you've worked for a whole life time just whither away, getting dismantled by rich business people, and not being able to do a single thing about it.
It's sickening.
5) It Has Helped People In So Many Ways
The NHS has helped the disabled people of our countries. The ill ones. Physically and mentally ill.
If it wasn't for that operation I had on the NHS I would not be able to put my foot flat on the ground.
If it wasn't for the NHS my younger brother would not have conquered his eczema.
The NHS has helped each and everyone of my family members, throughout their lives.
Happy 70th Birthday To The NHS. I am so grateful for everything it and it's workers have done for our country.
