This is absolutely incomprehensible to me as someone who, like Liz, pays tax but gets free medication, tests and will never pay for healthcare except through standard tax. https://twitter.com/ebruenig/status/1113875039831642114 …

I don't understand (and know I should read up but life gets in the way) why some politicians HATE the NHS so much. I assume it's just ideology/greed on their part but I can't force my own brain into that mindset. I just can't.

My eyesight is not the best - astigmatism + long-sightedness + cataract. Tests and ops are 'free' but decent lenses are £300-£400 a throw for a prescription that changes year by year - big for a pensioner, so like thousands I make do with unsuitable specs most of the time.

Same with Glaucoma and Diabetes. Also if *anyone* in your blood-relative family has Glaucoma, then you get free eye-tests and glasses.
