One of the areas where the problems of the US privatised #healthcare system are most obvious is in infant mortality, where the US' record is lamentably bad compared to other rich & developed countries.
Now, due to the #NHScrisis compounded by continuing (growing) health #inequality, the UK seems to be going down a similar route.
The #Tories wrecking of the #NHS always was aimed at reproducing the US system, and here is the cost in stark infant mortality rates!
