Kevin Schofield is HuffPost UK's political editor and is based at Westminster. He has been a political journalist for more than 20 years, and in that time has worked for the Press Association, The Scotsman, The Herald, Daily Record, The Sun and PoliticsHome.
Speaking on LBC on Sunday, he said that he was “open to anything” when it comes to how the NHS is funded.
Nigel Farage says he is “open to anything” when it comes to replacing Britain’s NHS with “an insurance-based model”.also waded in, saying: “With Reform, our NHS would be reduced to a poor service for poor people, with working people forced to pay to go private. He added: “Every single voter considering Reform needs to ask themselves if they could afford to pay for health insurance like patients have to elsewhere?“There are elections in just three months time. Voters deserve straight talking from Reform about their plans to move to health insurance.”“Let me be clear, the NHS will always be free at the point of delivery under a Reform government,” he said.
“That’s why it’s important that we highlight the danger of Nigel Farage’s consistent position on moving to a fee-paying model.“Kemi Badenoch refuses to explicitly state that the Tories won’t get in bed with Farage’s party. This leaves big questions unanswered in the minds of voters. We intend to keep asking those questions.”
