So in the local last night we were all moaning on how crap the NHS is now. That is to say cant get a GP appointment, cant get an op if needed. If your on the side of the road dieing then you get rapid treatment as they cant really put you in a 8 month queue can they. On the other hand if you need a cateract, hip operation etc then no chance. The general gist was it needs more money or the doctors need a paycut so there can be more of them. Some facts about the money situation for England. Current account 2017: Income from all forms of tax - £730 billion. Total spent by the gov - £780 billion. Net result Added to the UK credit card in 2017 £50 billion. 2017 Annual credit card payment on top of the above: £46 billion. Now lets look at the NHS, gov spent £124 billion on it in 2017. Lets give NHS 10% more (not enough for the aging population) so we need to find nearly £13 billion. Now bearing in mind we are negative £46 billion add to this £13 and we now need to find £60 billion. VAT generates £120 billion so if we increase it by 50% that would cover it. VAT rate of nearly 40%. or maybe jack up income tax. UK gets £229 billion, abolish the 22% rate so everyone pays 40% would do it. So when you next see a loony lefty moaning about 'austerity' point out the nonsense they are talking.
