How would you vote?

Against.
People could be saving for a new car, rainy day, helping their kids get to uni etc.
£2k is hardly a fortune and would be gone within the first year if a person in the family has ongoing health issues.
We all pay in as it is, pehaps we could be enticed into paying a bit more if we know it is ring fenced for NHS and care.
