ACT UP stands in opposition to the misguided, discriminatory health measures in the Immigration Bill.

FOR OVER 65 YEARS, the NHS has been built on the principle of universal health coverage, ‘free at the point of access’…
THAT ALL CHANGES:
— when lawful, legal immigrants (holding down jobs, paying taxes) are charged hundreds of pounds a year to visit a GP;
— when urgent treatment in A&E comes with a price tag upwards of a thousand pounds;
— when doctors and nurses act as border control agents, checking to see who’s paid up & ‘deserves’ care.
These measures will affect
— our sisters & neighbours,
— our co-workers & classmates,
— our friends & lovers…
…..these measures will affect ALL OF US.
WE ALL BENEFIT when everyone in the UK can visit the doctor.
INFECTION SPREADS & COSTS SOAR when conditions go untreated.
A TWO-TIERED NHS DOESN’T WORK, because disease doesn’t do borders.
Sign on to our petition here and spread the word!!
ACT UP! FIGHT AGAINST THESE CLAUSES! KEEP THE NHS FREE FOR ALL!
