The NHS is a drain on our taxes and should be closed down.

Are you going to fund all your health needs out of your own cash?

Are you going to buy an insurance policy that covers all your health
needs?

Whichever, have you any idea how much it will cost you in actual money
terms?

The NHS is basically a compulsory health insurance, and a ****ty one at
that. Insurance should never be compulsory.

If only.

Are there any other forms of insurance where the premiums are directly
proportional to the income of the insured ?, and where huge swathes
of the population are effectively excused from paying premiums, never
lose their no-claims bonus and are usually the ones making the biggest
and most frequent claims ?.


The only way to sort out the NHS is Scrap employers NI and combine it
with tax. This will immediately stop people over 65 with incomes in
excess of average wages (and there are lots) from avoiding NI. Why
should this group expect to live another 30 years and still get free
NHS and pay nothing for it ?.

That and only allow 2 free GP visits per year. Guarantee same day
appointments for these first 2 visits, then pay for the rest. Pay
more if you still want a same-day appointment.

Stop all free prescriptions. Totally. The NHS already arranges
massive discounts on most drugs, there is no need to hand the
stuff out free as well.
