Closed Cancel the £224 per year increase to the NHS Surcharge

Closed on

The government has announced an increase to the NHS surcharge.

The surcharge is paid by people applying to live in this country and people already in this country on visas.

Many of us have family members who where not born in this country but live and work in this country.

Like us who are born in the United Kingdom, they also pay taxes and national insurance, why should these people be double charged?

This will put a great deal of pressure and financial strain on families and could lead to families being broken up.
