On this day in 1897 Aneurin Bevan was born. Bevan was the creator of the NHS in post-WW2 Britain, which is the biggest asset Britain has and the greatest gift any government has given to its citezens. Bevan summed up the need for systems like the NHS in his book In Place of Fear with the following quote:
“The collective principle asserts that... no society can legitimately call itself civilised if a sick person is denied medical aid because of lack of means.”
Truer words have never been spoken in politics, but ever since its inception corrupt politicians, usually in the pay of private healthcare providers who think they can make a quick buck by dismantling the NHS, have been trying to run it down or dismantle it. No politician who puts their electorate before their own personal bank balance would ever consider dismantling or opposing the creation of universal healthcare and it is worth remembering that the next time you vote.
