Interests, Emotions, and the Strength of the English NHS; Comment on “Who Killed the English National Health Service?” 695 697 3058 10.15171/ijhpm.2015.129 EN Scott L. Greer University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI, USA 0000-0002-5288-0471 Journal Article 2015 06 03 Martin Powell makes the point that the death of the National Health Service (NHS) is constantly asserted without criteria. This article suggests that the NHS is many things, which makes criteria unstable. The alignment of interests in the structure of the NHS enables both overheated rhetoric and political strength, and that pluralization of provision might actually undermine that alignment over time. https://www.ijhpm.com/article_3058_3f5ee243547dee91fbd053c1c4a845aa.pdf
