Please excuse my posting this here but in the UK we are in danger of losing the NHS we know a love, and if that happens it will have an impact on CML patients and others with life threatening diseases.
I have benefited so much from our system of Health Care- the care and expertise I was able to access when I had my stem cell transplant saved my life. My parents have paid taxes all their lives and have never needed to ask for care from the NHS- but I did and because of our unique 'pooled risk' system, I was able to recieve the best care possible.
I apologise if this offends some of you, but would ask that you just ignore my request if that is so.
Best wishes,
Sandy
Many of us have already signed this petition, because we believe the NHS is worth defending. Together generations of British people have built and maintained a health service that looks after all of us - rich or poor, whenever we need it. The NHS isn’t perfect, but it does an incredible job. We can't afford to let it be damaged or destroyed.
Please forward this message to family and friends and ask them to sign the petition before 2pm Thursday:
