In January 2011, the government introduced a new health bill many fear will bring even more draconian cuts and competition from private providers. The bill is now in the process of being adopted and will overhaul the current management structure and axe more than 20,000 health jobs in the next two years. An undisclosed number of hospitals will also be shut, rumored to include St. Mary's in London, where Alexander Fleming discovered penicillin. (AP Photo/Kirsty Wigglesworth)
