General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don't post to both [email protected] and [email protected] .
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and should be either a link to a reputable news source for news, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread. (These things should be publicly discussed)

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

vast majority of money in the USA system goes to middle men who get rich, yep.

less and less of it goes to patients and medical staff each year.

not to mention the disparity in general medicene practical (which the bulk of patients use) and super specialties (which see 5x the pay as a general doctor), which is why have an abundance of specialty doctors but not enough primary care physicians.

Pharmaceuticals take a large cut of medical care in the US. The amount they charge for medicines is obscene.
