Armed forces 'superbug' menaces UK

Actually it's stupid fucked up Government policy rather than being directly connected to having the NHS. Obviously if we didn't have the NHS, various governments of different flavours wouldn't have been able to penny-pinch the military hospitals closed. But the reverse isn't true, i.e. a condition of having Govt funded healthcare doesn't automatically mean soldiers should be treated in public wards.

Many voters are against this TBH. But without a referendum what can you do? We're a representative democracy, not a true democracy.
