Very much convinced it's happening, and it's been going on since the 80's. Although some approve due to the financial aspect, a lot don't. I'm a med student, and a lot of my friends/Drs I meet are massively opposed to a more US-style system because it means making often arbitrary decisions about helping someone based on whether they can pay/have insurance. This goes completely against the values that bring a lot of people in to healthcare in the first place. It's why NHS workers are generally okay taking real terms pay cuts for 12 years, but really kick up a stink when the government start openly taking the piss, as they have been the last couple of years.

Every one I know working for the nhs is convinced that its being destroyed slowly to be replaced with a us style insurance system.
The scary thing us that some approve of the changes in that it may mean better pay and conditions. And not the monopolistic employment market at the moment... I'm not convinced.
