Doctors, nurses, any anyone else who works in the health service sacrfice so much of their time and effort, for little pay (nurses, for example, have had their pay frozen for years while MPs have helped themselves to an 11% pay rise), to save lives. You'll miss them when they're gone, and Jeremy Hunt finally achieves his long-time aim to privatise health care in the UK.
