"though I do question whether any extra medical treatment they receive as a consequence should be subsidised by the rest of us." Michael W I believe in vaccines but I also believe in universal health care. It is really saddening to see that principle under attack on this forum again. It is very saddening how easily the principles of the NHS are thrown away. But what if it was? It's a slippery slope once that happens! The UK pays for the NHS out of past, current and more importantly future taxation. Treatment is given regardless of contributions. I would like to thank the younger generations that have been wonderful during this pandemic - who are statistically less impacted by the virus but who have been greatly impacted in all other ways to protect those older than themselves. If we can pass on anything to them it has to be the NHS and the principle of universal health care. |
