I don't see why not as long as it isn't the start something sinister. Any legislation would need to make clear that the NHS would otherwise remain free at the point of delivery. Labour have been lacking ideas for well over a decade. They desperately need to come up with ideas to regenerate working class areas where their core vote is slowly but surely ebbing away.
