workingclasshistory:

On this day, 5 July 1948, the UK National Health Service (NHS) was founded, on the principle that medical treatment should be provided according to need rather than the ability to pay. Legislation to bring in prescription charges was introduced by Labour in 1949, and ever since the free, socialised service has been under attack from successive governments who have gradually introduced more charges, marketisation and privatisation. And it’s up to us, the working class, to defend it!
