What annoys everyone (not just workers) is benefit fraudsters who literally stop the NHS affording life saving/life extending drugs, they stop disabled people getting the care and help they need. They prevent social services having the funds to help everyone who needs help.
Thats why people despise benefit fraudsters and cheats, it is about as low as someone can get. Literally preventing someone getting life saving/life changing help. When someone is prepared let others suffer in pain or go without the help they desperately need just because they don't want to get a job, well that is vile! Like I said no one begrudges the system, we have to pay the taxes wether there is a benefit system or not, we just find it hard to believe another person would happily sit back and take funds causing others suffer knowing they are partly to blame.

So £5.2 billion is 'literally preventing someone getting life saving/life changing help' while you've no comment on £69.9 billion.
The NHS's funding isn't going to miraculously go up even if welfare fraud stops right now, it'd be used to plug the spending deficit or urinated away on one of the government's pet projects.
