I don't usually forward petitions but this one seemed potentially more 
important than most.

> Today, **GPs issued a stark warning about Andrew Lansley's NHS plans.
> They warned we're "moving headlong" towards a more US-style health
> system** based on "an insurance-type model" [1]. That'd be the end of
> the NHS as we know it - we can't let that happen.
>
> **GPs, nurses and patients' groups all know that protecting our health
> service is a matter of life and death.** [2] But they can't save the
> NHS on their own. Hundreds of thousands of us need to work together to
> push the politicians to rethink their dangerous plans.
>
> Over 265,000 of us have signed the Save Our NHS petition so far. **In
> the next few weeks, we need to deliver the petition to hundreds of
> MPs.** The bigger the petition, the bigger the impact we will have
> when it lands on politicians' desks. **Can you help us get past
> 300,000 signatures this week?**

> **Our campaign has already helped push the government to announce a

> We know that when we work together behind a growing petition we can
> transform things. **When over 500,000 of us signed the Save Our
> Forests petition we forced the government to back away** from their
> plans to privatise the forests. Now we need to convince our MPs that
> we won't let them press ahead with these dangerous plans.
