🚨BMA BULLSH*T ALERT🚨
#NHS on brinking on US corporate capture in no small part due to complicity of @TheBMA
To avoid being too conspicuous & despite signing up to white paper in Feb 2021 here we have latest display of cynical, deceptive posturing.
@TheBMA has delivered all government has asked of them in betraying profession & patients from capitulation over HSCA 2012, sabotage of junior doctors' strike 2016 to railroading GPs into #PCN contracts in 2019. Their statement needs exposing for its deadly consistency.
Instead of calling for a scrapping of the wasteful marketisation the BMA endorse the catastrophic status quo with over £10 BILLION p.a squandered on market bureaucracy and NOT on service provision
Commissioning in marketised NHS which has been controlled by private sector since mid-2000s (Framework for External Support for Commission) operating behind BMA endorsed 'GP-led' PCT/CCGs transitional orgs to assist corporate raid. Private sector embedded in @NHSEngland
Health & care bill 2021 breaks up NHS into 42 ICSs abandoning national bargaining. BMA assisted assault on pay & pensions with contract changes they promoted. This statement is duplicitous
Strong, independent clinical leadership does not exist in BMA. Here they accept creation of US-style 'managed care' ICSs but argue for medical snouts in the trough.
Origins of managed care:
The next level of fake naivety.
SoS needs to micromanage final phase of #NHS privatisation to minimise electoral fall out & accelerate corporate capture.
BMA oblivious to how UK corruption works.🤔
Revolving door appointments, buying MPs for access, crony contracts, peerages and donations to @Conservatives
@UHC had their man #SiminStevens in charged since 2014🤦🏽

BMA supports destruction of #NHS but present as victims or frustrated saviours.
Sophistry masterclass by @TheBMA on 17th July deconstructed
⚠️Hop on bandwagon to avoid conspicuous silence & echo bogus talking points (ditto @UKLabour & @keepnhspublic}
bma.org.uk/bma-media-cent…
⚠️BMA endorsed Feb 2021 white paper, remained silent until now.
⚠️Have track record of imposing ignorance & disengaging members.
⚠️Assisted creating US style 'managed care' by railroading GPs into new contract 2019 WITHOUT discussion/VOTE.
#NHSBill progression of agreed change
⚠️Clinical 'leadership' has had no impact on halting or moderating NHS privatisation. Predominantly serving as window dressing for the destruction
⚠️It has enriched & assisted career progression of the complicit.

Here's why. 1/13

Underplaying significance of American corporate raiders following recent annoucement of Centene's UK subsidiary takeover of GP practices ignores dominance of various US players now metastasised throughout NHS not least in @NHSEngland board 2/13

most notably #Mckinsey #UnitedHealth.
Business model of American privatised healthcare is built on fraud and denial of care. 3/13
