			That would be the ideal but it's not possible unfortunately. It's all well and good paying into the coffers but on the most recent stats I read 38% receive more, even during their working lives, than they put in.
 We need more privately funded healthcare to compliment the NHS, alongside abandoning funding from general taxation in favour of single payer insurance.
 
 Would help pull the NHS away from being a political football amongst other things.
 
 EDIT: Incidentally I don't think anyone advocates involuntary euthanasia. At least I'd hope not. That's a bit much. However there has to be some pragmatism over what the NHS can afford and even more so with our ageing population. Cold as it may seem throwing hundreds of thousands of pounds at someone to give them a very few more months of extremely low quality life is a tough sell.
 
 I am still utterly convinced that the option of euthanasia should be open to people though.
