    I didnt mean it was FREE "FREE" , it comes out of our pockets via tax alongside other taxes.
    Surely though the donation is pittence compared to what major treatments or surgery would cost.

    If you want to go down the route of getting value for money then surely people that live a healthy life should be taxed less and overweight people, drinkers and smokers would fall into higher tax brackets.
    Is that fairer?

    • that way the healthy dont pay for the unhealthy's NHS bills23kon
    • Thank you. Idk why people keep saying free healthcare.kgvs72
    • Not really pittence (sic), over your lifetime what you pay will be an average of the true costribit
    • but at least it gets everyone at an averaged rate, no surprises. (just like insurance).ribit
