Boris is set to announce big changes to tackle growing issues in the NHS

Reports suggested that lifetime contributions on care will be capped at about £80,000 – but to cover this National Insurance contributions will be increased by 1.25%, to raise between £10 billion and £11 billion per year.

Mr Johnson is expected to say the challenges faced by the health service and the social care system are ‘closely linked’. Downing Street revealed one in seven people now have to pay more than £100,000 for their care, which can lead to ‘spiralling costs and the complete liquidation of someone’s assets’.

Penalising the poor to protect the assets of the rich. Gotta love the Tory mantra.

More BS to the nation.

More bullshit and lies. But when brexit voters believed the big red bus with promises of money for the NHS then I suppose they will believe anything Boris Johnson will say.

The only issue within the NHS is the outsourcing of services....public money into private pockets. Robbing taxpayers to pay shareholders....

A sports man he ain’t.

Flattering imagery.

Nice picture 😂

LOL knew what they were doing by posting those pics 🤣🤣

An other broken manifesto promise then, pity he wasted £36 Billion on the Failed “Track and Trace” and other backhanders to Tory Donors.

Which will be news to his Cabinet by the sound of it.

Is it taxing the young to keep old Tory voters happy.

Boris Johnson faces 'almighty row' with Tory MPs over NI tax hikeBoris Johnson is facing a mounting Tory backlash over his plan to hike National Insurance to pay for social care reform as he was warned it will cause 'significant damage' to the Conservative Party. Disgrace The amount of 2019 election 'promises' being broken or in the process of being broken is now past the absurd The cons are JOKERS Handing in on a plate to Labour Based on my experience of my company, as a past supplier to UK Government Health Department, it will be a miracle, if Tories do not eventually take UK to US style insurance, destroying overall healthcare & making humans across UK, insecure about health, life & future!
