Privatization, in itself, isn't always harmful BUT it really depends on how you do it, what contracts, for what... and the PFI/Tories ways of doing it means, I think, people just don't trust it at all.
The Dutch health service is privatized but with very strict controls, it's a world away from the USA system where you get semi-monopolies and therefore overcharging/people being refused affordable coverage.
