This is a normal post Both airing the idea and loony MP.
What's the use of ill poor people anyway if you can't make money from them.

This is a normal post Means-tested, surely?
While making no comment on the rights and wrongs of co-funding / co-payment, which is fairer - an extra 1 or 2p on national insurance that would have to be paid by every poor fucker on £20,000 p/a, or for people earning, say, £35,000 having to part with £20 to see their GP?

Honest question; I've got no idea how to solve the eternal NHS crisis.

This is a normal post you've picked a very regressive tax there surprisingly
Why not have those on high earnings pay a bit more income tax? Or put corporation tax up?

This is a normal post Because once you put income tax up above a certain level, rich people simply avoid it or leave the country.
That's the estimate of HMRC themselves, not the government.

This is a normal post I dont really buy that
The super-rich pay very little tax wherever they live and for most of the others, where you live in the world isnt just contingent on the tax burden.

This is a normal post It could be means tested and work ok.
It could also be used as a lead-in to normalise paying for healthcare; Within a very short time, lots of insurers would offer policies to cover charges.
More and more additional costs would arise, to be covered by said policies. Slowly creeping toward a US model.
A little like dentistry has changed.

I don't have an easy answer either, although I am aware that large corporations like to expand into new markets.
