Will this turn us into a high tax country? As a Conservative I believe a lightly-taxed economy is essential to our future. But look at this table from the IFS [https://t.co/3iynl3qeQX ]. It shows the US takes 25% in tax v.s 33% in the UK (and higher in most of the rest of Europe] — PolitiTweet.org

So the attraction of a Health and Social Care levy is it would fund the NHS backlog in the short term and desperately needed improvements in the social care system in the medium/longer term. It would also be transparent about the need for resources and capacity in both sectors. — PolitiTweet.org

But in the US you pay much more than 8% of income in health insurance. In the future we’re all going to pay more for health due to living longer & new treatments. In the US/Germany/Switzerland/Holland that’s through higher insurance premiums; in systems like ours it’s through tax — PolitiTweet.org
