Closed All private healthcare policies to be subject to 50% tax to go directly to NHS.

Closed on

Institute a new 50% tax on all private healthcare policies (personal or company paid-for), to provide additional direct funding for the NHS.

Lessons learned from Covid - we need a fully resourced and publicly funded NHS. Short term, a new tax will raise critical funds for the NHS and, over time, aim to stem the need for private healthcare at all. Along with many issues, Covid has taught us that there needs to be health equality.
