The Competition & Market Authority is (finally) going to investigate Dentists' treatment charges on the grounds that the spiralling costs of private dentistry indicate a significant market failure alongside the problems of hidden charges.
A cynic might wonder if this is a dry run for a claim that the CMA could properly regulate a major expansion in private health care, if Wes Streeting's 'reform' of the NHS entitled such a move?

It is not just Streeting, I would like at the very least, all large commercial donations to be explained by governments of any colour as to the benefits they accrue. Preferably I would go furthe than that and just ban them.

This entire thread is pretty f**ked up showing how insane and damaging US medical care is.

The $650mio in projected savings could arguably be underestimated, as #preventive #healthcare is deemed to be not growth-centric by #bigpharma & #consumerist #privatehealthcare providers. But lifestyle changes & interventions driven by preventive healthcare principles is part of global #SDG & should be an integral part of long-term #sustainability strategies to foster national well-being & #happiness.

Should the #labourparty be renamed ‘The Labor Party’? This would align them nicely with their current policy of capitulating to every demand from the USA billionaires, the so-called #techgiants #AI firms and #Privatehealthcare who would seem to be funding them.
Wes Streeting is all over the media pushing his health 'reforms' this weekend.
A reminder..
"Good Law Project research shows that more than 60% of the money invested in the new health secretary since he entered parliament in 2015 has come from companies and individuals with links to private health"

"#KeirStarmer's private #healthcare deal sells out #NHS #patients [and #taxpayers]
The government has just signed a new deal with #privateHealthcare that will see billions leave our NHS into private pockets.
Their deal gives private healthcare decision-making powers over local healthcare planning decisions and opens the door to new damaging #PFI.
And the deal will not cut waiting lists because the private sector doesn't have its own staff. They steal NHS staff. "
Now the healthcare company execs are scared they could be next. Now they want to "understand" patients: Health execs reckon with patient outrage after UnitedHealthcare killing #healthcare #privatehealthcare #UnitedStates #UnitedHealthcare https://www.reuters.com/business/healthcare-pharmaceuticals/health-care-execs-seek-better-understand-patient-outrage-after-unitedhealthcare-2024-12-11/
Our political system and our justice system demonstrably will not save us from being killed for profit, because that is the system working as it's designed to do.
If you're poor and die from insufficient healthcare coverage, it's more or less an expected outcome.
Again, social contract says what?
