agreed, the NHS was setup to allow medical care for all but mainly for those unable to afford, those that can should pay.pickles said:American levels of taxation + welfare state expectations = total ****
We are getting exactly what we pay for, a second rate service
Put your hands in your pocket and pay for it like they do in France, Germany, Sweden and all the other countries with good state systems. It's not rocket science, it's called "Income Tax"
not very labourite views? more the tory way of thinking? just the same as before it's just the goal posts have moved and more people are affluent and have moved themselves out of the poor bracket and therefore shouldn't complain about having to pay, those that do are only concerned with themselves and not caring about others in need.
