[QUOTE="goji, post: 185176, member: 11291"] I think the reforms are a very bad idea and they are not supported by the majority of hospital doctors or GPs. The reforms open up the way to further privatization of the NHS, which in the long term will be bad news for us diabetics. You only have to look at what happens in the US where people are unable to afford their metformin or insulin because they don't earn enough to pay for private health insurance. If you think the test strip situation is bad now, wait until private companies take over. As this GP explains, private companies are lining up to take over NHS services, because they will be able to make profits. The profits will be made by rationing care.... [b](Blog link removed. Pm Member for details)[/b] If you don't support the reforms, then please sign this petition to register your concern.... [url=http://www.38degrees.org.uk/page/s/Protect_our_NHS_Petition#petition]http://www.38degrees.org.uk/page/s/Prot ... n#petition[/url] GPs are private providers, money they can save by providing the cheapest care will become profits to take home.
