Isn't that what income tax is for? we do pay for our own...During a recent survey it was found that people are in favour of tax rises to save the NHS, and yet Hammond just lifted millions out of tax... so how are they being funded?

Unless you mean your own as in you pay for your own granny/disabled family member/ mentallly ill relative and screw anyone else?
