Separation of NHS and State?

The NHS is far from perfect and a single-payer healthcare system is not the only model of universal healthcare that works. However, our love for the NHS reflects that of a state religion, preventing us from having the debate over structural reform that needs to be had.

But why?

This is not to say that a social health insurance system will work better. Nor am I asserting that sweeping privatisation of the entire NHS would work in the UK. It is hard to have any idea because the debate is not being had in the first place. Nothing other than the NHS appears permitted. The NHS is sacred and here lies the problem. Fundamental change to the operation of healthcare in the UK could be exactly the medicine we need, yet we are vehemently attached to a system which may need change.

This article should have been a passionate proposal or condemnation of structural NHS change, or at least a detailed analysis of our options. But the expert analysis is lacking. There is a chance that every proposition mentioned so far would not work. However there is also a chance the very fix the NHS needs lies in total overhaul. But as long as the NHS appears to be our state religion and we refuse to have this conversation, we will never know. Healthcare is literally a matter of life and death — if losing our beloved NHS saves innumerable lives then it is worth it. For the sake of all those who continue to perish due to NHS failures, we need to at least consider alternatives.
