The Establishment Of British National Health Service System

The period from the1880s and1890s to the early20th century witnessed the laissez-faire capitalism to monopoly capitalism transition since the application of new science, new technologies fundamentally changed the mode of production, promote the improvement of labor productivity, and to some extent increased difficulty of employment. Meanwhile, that new factories and new production sector growth rate was far lower than the unemployment rate led to the gradually increasing number of the unemployed and the stagnant economic growth in the late19th century. Furthermore, reduction or even interruption of the working-class income, contributed to a result of the deterioration of personal health status, diseases associated with poverty. However, socio-economic changes never improved the social services system especially the disease-related socialservices change; the traditional social services failed to meet the needs of the community.Neo-liberalism was born to conform to the trend of historical development, as the product of British sociologists and thinkers explorement into the social security and social welfare for a long time. The neo-liberals advocate individual and collective harmony, individual and collective realization of reunification. The basic way to achieve harmony and unity is to establish the social security system led by the state. The neo-liberals believe that the state should be the organizers and managers of social life, which provides public services to meet the needs of individuals, to support the development of individual freedom and to achieve freedom and progress of society as a whole. Meanwhile, the state should also be defenders of fair and justice, should bear more responsibility, should safeguard the interests of the vast majority, social inequality, and defend the core values of freedom. The socialists hold the idea that social causes of poverty in the United Kingdom is the private ownership of the means of production, especially private land system and the real estate system of deprivation of the majority of workers from the possibility of economic freedom in the means of production, thus losing access to equal rights. They generally advocated the nationalization of industrial enterprises of the people’s livelihood, to increase the property tax, inheritance tax, personal income tax, VAT and other taxes, expanding government financial accumulation so as to establish a universal and free social welfare system, to ensure the enjoyment of working-class equal social rights, and that only through such means can ensure a fundamental economic freedom, furtherly achieving equality among people."Health Insurance Act" is the first attempt in social reform by British Liberal Party under the guidance of neo-liberal ideology. The objective of this system is to eradicate poverty by eliminating the impact of the disease for the Working Class in England, providing a social security, alleviating the pressure of life. Health Insurance Act has brought enormous changes in social attitudes, and realized a historic leap in the social security system. The neo-liberals believe that government should not only organize social production, but also coordinate social life, acting as a referee role in social activities. As this view on the health insurance system gradually becomes a deep impression, the various large-scale social reform goes into maturity. The National Insurance system to a certain extent solved the social poverty and disease that plagued Britain for many years, prompting the British social security system to achieve the transformation from individualism to collectivism.The achievement of universal suffrage is an important force to promote the development of British social welfare system. The system of British parliamentary democracy determines the establishment of the process of social policy, social welfare system, consistent with the inevitable social and political rights of the public since it is impossible for any political party to obtain long-term support without taking the interests of the voters into account.British political parties have a clear understanding of the planning and construction of the National Health Service, howerver, their attitude to the national health service system is different, for they represent different interests, system principles and their specific measures taken to the requirements of the health care system are also different. Therefore, the construction process of the British National Health Service reflects an obvious political color of the British parties.
