A few links around the #NHSBill. Read, take action, feel good.

Start here, this is what the bill is about: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Health_and_Social_Care_Bill_2011

Then get the breakdown here: http://www.antipope.org/charlie/blog-static/2012/03/grim-meathook-future-english-s.html

Referenced is Ben Goldacre's Post here: http://bengoldacre.posterous.com/what-will-the-nhsbill-do-i-dont-think-youre-w

Both articles are based on the article published in the British Medical Journal: http://www.allysonpollock.co.uk/administrator/components/com_article/attach/2012-03-08/BMJ_2012_Pollock_HealthSocialCareBill.pdf

Some more breakdown is here: http://scruffymutt.posterous.com/the-bill-that-no-one-wants and here: http://nhsvault.blogspot.com/2012/02/why-patients-are-not-objecting-to.html

The Royal College of Surgeons don't like it: http://www.guardian.co.uk/society/2012/mar/09/royal-college-surgeons-nhs-reforms. The GPs governing body don't support it either: http://www.guardian.co.uk/society/2011/may/13/andrew-lansley-nhs-reforms-unworkable. In fact, as showed here: http://bengoldacre.posterous.com/who-is-and-is-not-invited-to-camerons-emergen most of the key parts of the NHS oppose the bill.

Here was today's political blow: http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/2012/mar/10/liberal-democrats-debate-nhs-bill

After all that, go here: http://nhsalert.org.uk/, read more, and click the "Take Action" link to here: http://nhsalert.org.uk/pages/take-action; then, at least, sign the petition http://nhsalert.org.uk/page/signup/nhs-alert-petition, and email your MP http://nhsalert.org.uk/page/speakout/will-you-email-your-mp-now

Any questions? :-)
