Public Health, Private Choices

Depending on your outlook both are valid choices.

By Sam H ArnoldPublished 2 years ago 1 min read

Private health care the path to health,

Invest in your well-being, a fortress of self.

Tailored care, a shield against despair,

Comfort in choices, a personalised affair.

Swift attention, a beacon in the night,

Quality service, a reassuring light.

The NHS shines, a public embrace,

Health for all, a shared space.

    I liked the way you presented it.

    I like the subtle yet strong critiques here, and how the NHS vs private contrast is not seen until the end. Very topical, and such a tricky topic!
