Perhaps state benefits should be withheld from you too.

That might be difficult, because I don't get any at all, not a penny :-)


The NHS and pensions are state benefits.


They may be state benefits but most people will have contributed for a
minimum of 30 years to get the state pension and the NHS is also funded
from National insurance.


And you might need the NHS for something serious at any time in your life.
Regardless of how much you have paid in. If you are unlucky. So absolutely
no different from unemployment benefit.
