So you didn't get the arm full of childhood vaccinations?

You've not been abroad and had vaccinations for the common nasties
out there? (Though some are not available on the NHS, Rabies springs
to mind).

You have never had any NHS prescriptions from a GP, Out patient, In
patient?

You are not registered with a GP? Presumably if you want routine
medical treatment/advice you see a GP as a private patient?

If you need scrapping up off the road which private A&E department
via which private ambulance service are you going to use?

All that for less than £2.80/week Class 2 Self Employed (+ Class 4 on
any profits) or £14.10/week Class 3 Voluntary(*). Only a proportion
of those amounts goes to the NHS, Class 2 provides Basic and New
State Pension, Contribution based Employment and Support Allowance,
Maternity Allowance and Bereavement benefits. Class 3 doesn't have
the ESA or Maternity Allwances.

(*) Except that Class 2 at least has been abolished and included in
the Class 4 contributions. The actual cost of the NHS to the
individual is not that much.

You're typing to PHucker.
