I think anyone of 55 should be paying for this as they are the ones who will benefit so make them pay for it, remove triple lock and put direct to NHS as I bet that is worth more than 0.7%

Assuming this isn't sarcasm, anyone who has any significant assets whether savings or property is, in England, already paying for their social care, many have been forced to use their savings and sell the homes they worked to buy in order to do so. It's those who haven't saved and/or been property owners (whether by choice or otherwise) whose social care is funded and I doubt this extra charge will be raising anything much from them.
Abusing the NHS? You mean like A&E which is full of young idiots who're out every weekend protesting about their abject poverty by getting paralytic who're wasting a whole lot of precious police time and NHS resources in the process.
If you're single, childless and lucky enough to be doing well enough to have (or be aiming at having) your own property, I'm assuming you're practising what you preach and living in a small flat/bedsit. Surely anything larger (even if affordable) would be bigger than you 'need'. Likewise, if you have kids and 'need' a suitably large home for now, I'm sure you'll be setting the right example and be moving out into something much more suitable the minute they leave home. One bedroom room ought to be enough.
What's voting to get out of the EU got to do with this by the way or is it your belief that doing so in some way renders the individual fair game for discrimination?
