What's happened to that?
Maybe the dividend never existed and you've been lied to.

As for healthcare we've been underfunding for decades, and saying we're happy to pay more in opinion polls. The Govt have called our bluff.

Whether it should be the young (again) to subsidise the old and wealthy is open to debate. There were other fairer taxes (eg capital gains, upper tiers of income tax, inheritance tax) - targeting those that can afford it, that could have been used. Not very Tory though.
