Radicals may have some misgivings about contributing to liberal campaigns, but what have you got to lose? NHS privatisation is part of the cutting edge of capitalist encroachment, ANY campaign that threatens to even slow that down has got to be supported, and the window of opportunity here is very narrow. If the campaign fails services like A&E will be critically impacted within months and even radicals need to make use of A&E from time to time. NHS services will be run down to bargain-basement quality and decent treatment will only be available to people who can either afford to make huge cash payments or who pay into schemes like BUPA.
Please do it now!

We don't have enough action medics to run a radical health service yet ;-) and until we do the NHS is worth fighting tooth and nail for.
The following article from the British Medical Journal outlines exactly how that slug Lansley "plans to dismantle the NHS in England."
It makes chilling reading.
