LONDON, Nov. 16 (UPI) -- Two doctors announced the formation Thursday of National Health Action, a new political party aimed at protecting Britain's National Health Service.

The party plans to field at least 50 candidates in the 2015 parliamentary election, organizers said. They said they will not run in districts where the incumbent shares their views on the NHS but do plan to put up candidates against Prime Minister David Cameron, Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt and former Health Secretary Andrew Lansley.

Market-driven heath policies are the absolute wrong way to go. Citizens of Britain should resist this trend with all their might.
