Jeremy Hunt coauthored a book in 2005
the book says on page 74
“We should fund patients, either through the tax system or by way of universal insurance, to purchase health care from the provider of their choice,”
.
It goes on to say
"Our ambition should be to break down the barriers between private and public provision, in effect denationalising the provision of health care in Britain.”
Put together by Douglas Carswell, the book’s authors also included Tory MPs Michael Gove, Daniel Hannan, Greg Clark, David Gauke, and Kwasi Kwarteng.
