I don't think that Joe Public realises how far these reforms are going. This is effectively the privatisation of the NHS. The end of the NHS being publically owned. It will be run by social enterprises and heavily influenced by private businesses. Does that shock you or please you?

This explains it succinctly...

Any comments?
So long as it is efficient and free at point of need I don't care who runs it. The implication that having the whole thing under State ownership must necessarily be better is an ideological one and not a position I agree with.
