Public Health, Private Choices
Depending on your outlook both are valid choices.
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.

The steps to losing a child
Step One: Lose a child. Not what anyone wants to happen and nothing you can do to change it, but you can go through steps to becoming happy again. You can go through steps to loving again. You can go through steps to become a new you because after losing a child you will never be the same person you once were.

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!
