Where does everybody stand on the NHS?

Is this to be protected at all costs or shall it be sold at auction to Donald and his republican cronies across the pond?

I had a very heated debate with a friend of mine last month, he is a leaver, firmly on the right wing and a resolute capitalist. I was trying to explain to him that the NHS is a socialist construct (in the sense of people all clubbing together for a common good that benefits everyone) and if he dislikes the idea of socialism so much then he might want to seek private hospital treatment in future. He just could not get his head around that, branded me a communist and then proceeded to go on a rant about how he paid his stamps like everyone else!

Some people just do not get it...
