I hear TTIP will destroy the NHS as due to various reasons, US companies will be able to sue the NHS for not adopting medicines that are currently not approved over here because they're deemed as dangerous whilst they're permitted in the US (thanks to campaigning via backhanders).
And the only way to save the NHS is the vote Brexit!

I hope this info is wrong. Maybe it depends on how dangerous the medicine is deemed in US. Drugs do get taken off the market there when there is a proved link with serious side effects, as was the case with an anti inflammatory drug. I would name it but, for some reason, the brand name is BANNED* from this forum!(?), i.e. when I tried to send this post a sign came up saying so. 
People developed increased risks of heart attacks and strokes following the use of this drug.
How I know this is that my mother was taken off of this anti inflammatory (given for her arthritis) TOO LATE and succumbed to her first stroke! Before that she was a physically strong woman....still makes me angry!
* That has got me thinking....why would this be? I thought this was a UK forum....

Some words are banned as they are commonly used by spammers - and foreign pharma ceutical spam is quite common

I think Jeremy Hunt is doing a good enough job of destroying it without help from the US.

I'm torn between 😀 and :(.
No mention of TTIP? This is rather scary!

I can't really improve on Amy's reply. But your question should be - 'What is TTIP'. It hasn't gone away.
If something like TTIP can still be unknown after all this time, how can the general public know enough to make any sensible decision about anything?
Thanks, Amy. Wales has 4 MEPs. Two have already stated they will not support CETA (Plaid Cymru and UKIP). The other two have done and said nothing, so I have written to them.
Let's hope it works!

I wrote to my MEP (Labour). She has had 15 similar emails but no reply. Hmmm...wonder what the resistance is?
I thought TTIP was dead in the water. But in any case as its with the EU it won't affect us..Personally I wasn't against it....

Er....clearly this is not the case AND it looks like it will be worse with Brexit! Still OK with it then?

On what do you base this? Why are you not against it? Please don't do as you have done before - drop a comment like this into the discussion and then ignore the replies.
By the way - TTIP and CETA, while similar, are not the same.
