>The NHS is a complete disaster and it is only going to get worse. Privatisation is the only way to fix it and the sooner this happens, the better. The big healthcare operators will definitely prosper from this as they will be able to negotiate better contracts with insurers and customers. This could provide a great opportunity for investors both in the short and long term.

This makes no sense, how can multiple companies negotiate better than one.

And the UK voters will never allow this to happen, ever.

The UK government will. Private healthcare or major reform of the NHS will be a better outcome for the UK

You're delusional if you think the UK voters are going to allow healthcare to be privatised.

It shows what you know when you're quoting a company that does less than £400m in turnover a year as a major player when BUPA did nearly £7b in 6 months and the NHS budget is £150b.

Only about 14% of the UK has private cover and the vast majority of that is because many companies give it you for free as an employee benefit.
