all of that is irrelevant to my point

the poorer you are the more likely it is you will be in bad health and need help.

so the wealthy are more likely to have to pay £0 due to not needing help

taking a small amount from everyone's estate , percentage wise, whether they need care or not, would be more equitable

that's the way the NHS and welfare works for that very reason

it's a step on the way to the American system of health care and "I'm a middle-aged singleman, why the hell should I pay for cervical screening for all these women" that's behind Trumpcare and the like
