Exclude the NHS from any post-Brexit USA /UK trade deal
The NHS has saved countless lives and is funded by millions of tax payers. It is a vital public service and not a chance for other countries to make huge profits. The NHS, it's facilities, services, & supply chain, must be excluded from any USA/UK post-Brexit trade talks to protect its integrity.
During a press conference with Prime Minister Theresa May on 04.06.2019 President Donald Trump was asked if the NHS should be on the table in a trade deal with the UK. In response, President Trump stated that "everything with a trade deal is on the table."
