Remarkable transformation? Where?

Underinvestment is the first play of the privatisation handbook. It's hardly surprising that the Conservatives let it rot before saying the best option was to sell it. Same goes for the NHS now.

The alternative is to make people pay via the tax system. Pay over the counter, pay through tax, either way you pay. There's no philanthropic medical insurance providers out there, just as there aren't with train operators.

You've been asked to evidence that it's a Marxist agenda and had your original post amended for failing to do so.
