Because that is how the NHS is funded. How does the NHS know (the other link). Because that's the truth. How do you know it isn't? You refute everything I tell you but don't suggest how you think it is funded. I'm afraid I think you are arguing now just for the sake of disagreeing with me and that's kind of pointless.

Saying it's a think tank over and over is wasting your time and mine, and doesn't really make it so. It's a non profit charity.

As I said I can't see the suggestions being put into action, however, a lot of people would be willing to pay a bit more for the NHS, or £10 to visit the Dr or A&E, it's a vital service to most people. If you don't have £10 you are possibly on benefits and like the prescriptions you probably wouldn't have to pay, just like children and the elderly. All they are suggesting is a possible way to boost NHS funds in the part you pasted.

You can't moan about the NHS being in crisis and then complain about suggestions for raising additional funds for it. The money has to come from somewhere so it's raising tax or charging a small fee for some services. It really doesn't grow on trees.

I find it strange that you can take their suggestions so seriously and yet deny their statistics about NHS funding. I think you are cherry picking.
