>in order to get the health service back on track with currently missed targets, to modernise and meet the needs of an ageing population, funding increases of 4% a year would be required, according to a report by the Health Foundation and the Institute for Fiscal Studies, in association with the NHS Confederation.
>Funding these projected increases in health spending through the tax system would require taxes to rise by between 1.6 and 2.6% of GDP - between £1,200 and £2,000 per household.
>Paul Johnson, director of IFS and an author of the report, said: “We are finally coming face to face with one of the biggest choices in a generation. If we are to have a health and social care system which meets our needs and aspirations, we will have to pay a lot more for it over the next 15 years. This time we won’t be able to rely on cutting spending elsewhere - we will have to pay more in tax.
Nationalized healthcare is a fucking joke.
