Migrant 'health surcharge' to raise £200 million a year

[Arthur Little]

... WHY are so many of our prominent members in favour of this surcharge?

Because it makes sense. While there may be a minority of people such as our partners who are affected for a few years until they get residency, the vast majority of health tourists need clamping down on. This is a small step. Personally I think all healthcare should only be given upon showing our national ID card... (mind you, I was in favour of the Poll Tax too).

Yes, I was in favour of Poll Tax also!

Personally I was dead against it. Very unfair taxation in my view.

Sorry Fred, but I saw it as a way to deter people from having kids to claim benefits, just my opinion!

I object to waiting times being extended and my taxes paying for treatment to scheming, freeloading grubs. We have enough of our own sick and elderly who should get priority
