    I think what this bozo is saying is that public financed healthcare could be captured by reactionary interests, so the alternative would be a private healthcare system? The UK has both the NHS and a private healthcare industry so this doesn’t make sense.

    It also doesn’t make sense to apply this to the US because even private healthcare is notoriously shit for trans people. Furthermore I doubt the UK’s private health industry is somehow full of fewer TERFs than the NHS.

      it also doesnt make sense because the government could ban it through private healthcare if they wanted (and they have and she knows it. states with private healthcare ban abortion so this isnt even theoretical its literally happening right now in her country in the current fucking year)

      ADDITIONALLY

      MFA isnt even gov run hospitals its just a government run health insurance system and if it didnt pay for it people could still get this done privately anyways or even get private insurance for it anyways
