No,it isn't.... We can't expect top medical care and expect to pay nothing for it.
But then of course people will go into this whole spiel how it's unfair and everyone should get equal treatment and bla bla rubbish.  |
Hence an additional tax so people know they're paying for it and can see how much it costs. Also the NHS should treat people equally. You don't want a country where people can't afford treatment, I don't want to think we're that kind of society.
