Ed Miliband says we are heading towards "an American-style NHS" and argues that we are on the "slippery slope" to privatisation.
Mr Miliband says the "dangerous, insidious thing" about privatisation is that it creates a "two-tier NHS".
"The NHS is in great danger," says Ed Miliband as he addresses Labour Party members in Hove, East Sussex.
"It's fighting for its life..
"We've even seen a treatment tent erected in a hospital car park... and David Cameron calls it a success", he says, to rapturous applause.

There have been scuffles on the streets of Glasgow involving Labour Party supporters and their opponents.
The trouble broke out when the party's leader in Scotland, Jim Murphy, tried to address his activists in the city centre.
Protesters playing loud music and shouting "Red Tories out", drowned out the politician as he tried to address the crowd alongside the comedian Eddie Izzard.
Mr Murphy said it was evidence the SNP was trying to disrupt the democratic process. But demonstrators interviewed by the BBC denied they were there on behalf of the Scottish National Party.
"When you look into your heart you know which of the leaders is here for his career, and which of the leaders is here because he really wants to change people's lives," says cook Delia Smith as she introduces "the next prime minister" Ed Miliband.
"We have one great national institution, fighting to save another great national institution," Ed Miliband replies.

A former Conservative minister has said David Cameron was “wrong” to promise to cut net migration to under 100,000.
Crispin Blunt, who was prisons and youth justice minister until 2012, told the BBC's Victoria Derbyshire programme the prime minister had to admit he “got that wrong because we can’t actually control immigration from within the European Union”.
Asked if the Conservatives would again promise to get net migration down to the tens of thousands he said “That is what we are trying to do.”
But pressed if that was another “no ifs, no buts” pledge – the words Mr Cameron used to underline the promise he made in April 2011 – the former minister said: “Plainly it is not, because you’ve already pointed out David has had to admit that he got that wrong.”
He went on: “We will get the opportunity to decide whether or not we want to control immigration from the rest of the European Union if there is a Conservative majority and we can have a referendum.”

Quote MessageI just don't think it's for me to reveal private conversations, but I've never met a senior Conservative who's told me privately they think they're going to win this election outright. They're now basically communicating a big, fat fib that they are going to win a majority with 23 seats. They're not. They need 323 seats. They're not going to get 323 seats. Everybody knows that."
Nick Clegg, Lib Dem leader

Now he's also given his backing to Labour candidate Tom Watson. According to the Express and Star,, external he's said: "I wish he could be our next Prime Minister to be honest. He’s Black Country, bright and ballsy."
Explaining his varied allegiances, the Hollywood star said: “I’m not a Labour person, or a Tory or anything else, but four years campaigning with the Hacked Off campaign has taught me that the more important dividing line in Parliament is between the members with real principle and guts and those without."
