I get my mail when I want to and had to troubles yet with the NHS so yeah...
Royal Mail may as well, it's not like cost of stamps are going to go through the roof. Perhaps the same with the NHS, it depends how much health insurance costs.
The Royal Mail should, but NHS shouldn't.
No to both.
The issue with Royal Mail is that it would be very difficult to make a profit, and would no doubt result in more junk mail (as they get paid quite a bit to deliver that) and many post offices shutting.
I hope I don't have to give an argument regarding the NHS, but mainly, everyone should have access to healthcare no matter how much (or how little) money they have.

Making people pay for their healthcare is a good motivator in life as it forces them to better themselves to afford it. I'm just thinking of the general public tbh.

I'm born into a poor family.
I get sick.
I can't afford a doctor.
I can't go to school/work etc. to get money to afford a doctor.
I get more sick.
I still can't afford a doctor.
I still can't earn any money.
Repeat until I die.

Brilliant!

Needless to say - that is rubbish.
You think people should suffer and die if they cannot afford expensive medical costs.
Shows how much of a human being you are.
I think yes to the Royal Mail but only partial privatisation of the NHS. Don't quote me either, I can't honestly be bothered providing reasons why since I'm trolling on YouTube atm.
Yes to royal mail. It's a dinosaur and belongs in the dustbin of history. Private courier companies (fed ex, ups) are out competing it.

Probably partly yes to the NHS, the private sector is far more efficient since it actually needs to make a profit,the NHS wastes huge amounts of money
because privatizing the trains worked so well:rolleyes:

You sir, have just been quoted :colone:

I actually agree that some parts of the NHS should be privatized and people should have to pay for things that aren't necessary i.e. optional cesareans.

I don't really have an opinion on whether RM should be privatized though.

That's one of your arguments against making the Royal Mail private?

It leads to a more efficient workforce. If you want evidence, the US ranks almost top for HDI and top for GDP.
