WHEN you speak to anyone, it is clear our NHS is our pride and joy.

May’s General Election is a crucial choice, whether we want the NHS to remain a service for the many, or lose it to private providers with their mouths watering at the prospect of profit.

The Tory and Liberal Coalition’s Health and Social Care Act has made that a strong possibility if we don’t use our vote for the NHS in May.

I am worried about the future of our NHS if Mr Cameron gets in again.

We cannot allow businesses to make a profit out of our health service.

I am getting married this year and I want a family in the future. I want the safety net of a National Health Service as we all get older and as our families grow up.

Only Labour will protect our NHS. You may hear the chimes of desperation from Mr Cameron as he promises billions of pounds, completely uncosted, as a desperate election ploy.

However, let’s trust the party that formed the NHS in 1948, that invested in it every time they got into government and had the highest satisfaction rates in the NHS in history — let’s trust the Labour party to save our health service once again. Let’s vote for the NHS and vote for Labour.
