Last month I had the 1st of 2 operations to have a large mole removed from the back of my head. The 2nd will be in a few months. I'm having on-going treatment for my ADHD. In my teens I had treatment for a road injury and through wrestling and running I've needed to see my GP (and occasionally go to hospital) for various injuries.
If the total cost of my health care was added up I'd say it's highly unlikely I've paid enough tax in 22 years to cover the overall cost.
It makes no difference what someone's skin colour is, which religion they follow or how long they've been in the country for. If they're working legally and paying tax then they are entitled to NHS treatment, end of.
