Ok, so who is paying for health care?
Because it isn't the 'disadvantaged', many of whom are going to need it.

* Income Tax
* National Insurance
* VAT
* Corporation Tax
In terms of amounts received, the first is by far the largest and is overwhelmingly paid by 'higher earners'. The top 50 % pay over 90% of it. The top 1% pay ~30% of it.
National Insurance is less progressive. I would argue that should change but it is what it is.
I can't argue against VAT being regressive, but breakdown of 'amount of VAT paid by income' isn't available.
