DISINFO: The TTIP treaty will lead to privatization of healthcare in Europe

SUMMARY

The TTIP treaty between the US and the EU will lead to privatization of healthcare in Europe. Powerful corporations have already obtained power over people and even governments.

RESPONSE

Public services including healthcare should not be affected by TTIP at all: "TTIP won't affect governments' ability to: operate public monopolies or grant exclusive rights to a particular private supplier; decide how to run water distribution services, or publicly-funded education, health or social services; or subsidise these services." The decision of how public services are delivered will remain the exclusive right of each EU country: "Governments can decide, or change, who delivers a public service at any time. This means there's no so called 'ratchet clause' for public services."
