The BBC reports that patients unable to access NHS care have raised £20 million through crowd funding to pay for care privately. As NHS underfunding continues it is sadly inevitable that more patients will have to pay out of pocket to get healthcare https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/health-47469031/we-chose-cancer-crowdfunding-over-making-memories …

No. We used the fact that patients are crowdfunding to pay for care. If it didn't come across that way then apologies. But self funding of care and how people finance it is a big issue. Plenty of private hospitals now offer credit financing for treatment for example.

You chose an example of patients using crowdfunding to pay for quack care, not legitimate care. There's a reason why the NHS doesn't fund such care, nor should it! Surely you could have found an example that didn't involve the worst form of cancer quackery?
