Because everyone gets free health care, why ask higher-rate payers to pay an extra premium for the same health service, they already pay more in tax and national insurance.

Mr A earning £20K please pay an extra £40 a year to see your doctor or whatever
Mr B earning £100K a year you can pay £400 a year to see your doctor whatever, don't worry if you've got private health care and don't use it, just pay it for the others, in addition to the extra Nat ins and tax you pay, oh you have a big mortgage and may have less disposable income than Mr A, tough sh!t!

That's not my position, but it is for a lot of people.

Welsh Labour should manage the money better and not waste it on 20mph speed signs and all the rest of the stupid ideas.
