Be interesting to know how accurate that is. seems likely as an idea.


On of my worries in the UK, is that GPs (local doctors) are now getting bought up by Corporations (Some US) and the number of avoidable deaths is going up.  I believe because the drive is again for profit, not service.

Corporations are made to make profits, not worry about people or society more than the need to .

We've seen that happen here with hospital emergency room staff.  They were moved "out-of-service area" just for billing purposes so they didn't have to accept insurance and could bill full charges directly to the patient.  Mentioned here:
