Allowing people to spend their own money on their own treatment will not destroy the NHS: it’ll destroy a particular vision of it, for sure, but that vision of it is one in which you get only what the Government thinks you should, not what you might actually want...

So why shouldn’t I be allowed, even encouraged, to top up my treatment from my own money? Well, except for the point that it is better that we be dead and equal than alive and unequal?
