I've screenshot this exchange amongst friends in my circle, because I don't think enough people have caught on to the enormity of this yet. Raab has let it slip there'll be insurance products to buy for social care to avoid selling your home. This, despite more than 10% NIC rise
Oh, and just in case you had missed it: Where the hell is our NIC and tax going since tories took over, certainly not on the health or social care bill:
tories have now: raised your taxes & NI higher than any time since WW2, cancelled the Pensions Triple Lock for elderly, increased care costs for the poorest, removed £20 UC uplift, uplifted the NIC so that nurses will see a real terms pay cut
and all these were supposedly to help pay for Social Care
We are literally being hammered,
and
making "insurance products" available means that US healthcare will end up being the ones building new homes.
bet ministers will have shares in these companies too!
Manifesto Pledges
We will not raise income tax, VAT or NI
We will get Brexit done
We will build 40 new hospitals
We will continue to spend 0.7% on foreign aid
We will keep the pension triple lock
You won't have to sell your home to pay for care
and one final reminder on this thread
our energy bills may double next April, the lock covers the current period till next April only. My bills have already gone up nearly 30% this month
Your actions tell the entire planet's population you are working hard to reach herd immunity through infecting our kids with a pathogen that kills & maims.
In individuals at low risk of COVID-19 mortality with ongoing symptoms, 70% have impairment in one or more organs 4 months after initial COVID-19 symptoms, with implications for healthcare and public health
Go private for the treatment you need, NHS tells patients
Patients are being refused treatment, discharged too early and pushed towards private referrals, openDemocracy’s largest-ever reader survey has found
@DailyMailUK you are doing everyone a disservice, especially the public and GPs, by refusing to incorporate the facts about funding and per capita equivalents.
If more GPs fall ill with COVID, LESS people can be supported and / or seen.
My family and I continue to receive outstanding support from our GP, including phone and video appts and even home visits.
Your lies are dangerous.
as Jon Trickett MP has stated: 265 GP Practices closed permanently during the pandemic. "It’s completely unacceptable for the government to seek to blame doctors for the NHS crisis.
