Rejected petition People that visit this country should have to pay for our NHS
Rejected on
Why should people that come to this county get free health care, we don’t when we go anywhere? It’s taking a lot of our NHS money!
When people come into this county they get health care for free, this shouldn’t be the case in my opinion.
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.
Some overseas visitors to the UK are subject to charges for using NHS services, so we're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.
Citizens Advice has published some information about NHS charges for people from abroad. You can find out more here:

You could start a new petition explaining clearly how you'd like the current rules to change.
