I believe this is how the UK does it as well. You pay income tax, then you pay your NHS fee.

- mattlondon 6y agoWe pay a "national insurance" tax in addition to income tax, but this is mainly to cover the state pension from what I understand and maternity allowance etc. As I understand it, NHS comes from general taxation. Obviously there is no actual "fee" to use the NHS at the point of use - it is all free apart from prescriptions which are the same price regardless of what you get (and you might get it for free anyway depending on your circumstances)
- nbaksalyar 6y agoPrescriptions are also completely free in Scotland. Same for Wales and Northern Ireland, as far as I know.
