One assumes the person behind this idea some wealthy upper class toff and is a tax avoider/evader so doesn't realise that it is taxes and NI that pays for the NHS already, and those of us who work, and pay our taxes, already pay every month. Nob.

It could equally be argued that the NHS is funded entirely from national borrowing.
The UK national debt is increasing by about £120 billion per year - the NHS costs about £110 billion per annum.
Regardless of the rights and wrongs of tax avoiders etc if it keep the NHS afloat, protecting services and jobs, £10 a month isnt a lot to ask is it?

one assumes people would at least read the first paragraphs to discover who and what is suggested. It a Labour peer (tax status unknown) who's suggesting the same model used for fire and police funding. personally i dont like it much but someone got to start thinking how to continue to fund the NHS because its bloody expensive.
Its a former labour health minister actually.
Poll Tax Mark 2.
Unfortunately a lot of people in this country wouldn't be able to afford it. The government are doing everything they can to sway the public into thinking that privatisation of the NHS is a good idea. The NHS is the most important service in the country, bar none, and there are other ways we can save it which are far more reasonable than this ridiculous "subscription fee" idea.
It's the anniversary of the Poll Tax Riots today..
