American idiot here. Will Starner's government do anything to improve the NHS? It's been an absolute dumpster fire from my (admittedly myopic) perspective.

MODERATORS
The Tories have been subtly gutting the NHS for years to make private practice more attractive, so they can move to an American model of insurance companies and all that BS.
The Tories were in power since 2010 (first 5 years were a coalition government). So that's 14 years of un-fucking to do.
It's going to take much longer than a five year term to fix the NHS. Liklihood is they'll inject some life into it just in time for the tories to sell it off next government
He will try. How hard it is without fixing the econ is the big question.
So it will start as small changes.
Compared to pass NHS. Yep its a dumpster fire.
But folks still get treatment without going bankrupt. Even poor and homeless.
So delays etc. Tends to still leave most better off then some places.
