This (meaning Tory post 2010) government demonstrably *is* systematically dismantling the NHS, whether you choose to believe it or not. The size of the NHS means it has always had deep problems but the major failings, which are increasing, have been cynically crafted by a Tory government that wants a switch to private, insurance-funded health care but simply cannot say so explicitly because of how (rightly) unpopular it would be.
They are shifting us to private health care through the back door, and making such palatable by creating situations that erode the publics faith in the NHS. There's really no two ways about that.
