Private healthcare doesn’t come into it. It’s about people who don’t regularly interact with the health service, which is most of us, having stronger opinions about how healthcare is delivered than whether it is.
Again, it’s a difference of opinion about how it’s delivered, not whether it’s delivered. Can you find me a single example of someone saying they don’t want the NHS at all unless it’s 100% publicly delivered? Because that’s the imaginary person you and Wes Streeting are arguing against.
People (in this very thread, so not strawmen!) mischaracterising using any private companies in delivery as taking the NHS out of public hands was exactly the argument that he was responding to.
