The incoming Conservative government and the NHS
Think they'll bury it? It's as likely a prospect as it's ever been at the moment; Cameron's rhetoric over personal/social responsibility, the continuing indications toward an explosion in cancer rates due to obesity.
While I think it's a possibility, I think if it were to happen it wouldn't be an outright kick to the kerb. I reckon a couple of years in they'll announce a shift towards European-style charges for some preventable diseases.
