Private medicine would be fine if the doctors providing it were fully funded in their training by private means, and if the hospitals and clinics they worked in were built and fully funded by private means. But they are not. The taxpayer pays for the training and most of the hospitals and clinics, ditto. We need to pay doctors properly to work within the NHS - and insist that they do so, unless they can show that they were trained by wholly private means.    Anything else is simply morally reprehensible.
