    Paywalled, but I’ll assume the NHS here is the National Health Service in the UK.

    “Just don’t get sick bro!”

    The prob ofc is, everybody will need healthcare in their life. We are at our most vulnerable when we need it the most.

    Here in the US we have had endless breaches of healthcare data. Companies that promise to keep it secure. Ofc they can’t. Even the ones who make a good faith effort. They can’t either! So we get mass breaches, millions of patients. On a monthly basis. Or even more often. Of intimate data. Medications. Dr notes about the patient. Diseases you have.

    In my parents day, health info was a piece of paper in a filing cabinet. Nobody could access it from across the planet! Even the gov could not, unless they sent somebody there with a search warrant. Today? It’s open fucking season.

    Boils my blood.

      I couldn’t even get to the paywall - their cookie consent dialog was halfway off the screen and I couldn’t click “reject”

        Protip. 90% of the time if you disable JS completely in your browser, that prevents the cookie dialogs. Sometimes prevents other annoyware too.

        My fav are the ones where you can click “Accept all”, or “More Options…” and the Options path goes to like 50 pages of confusingly worded separate options that’d take 20 min to figure out them all. Asshole design.
