I'm afraid we already pay for our own healthcare here in the UK, via the medium of income tax and National-health Insurance contributions (these are deducted by the Inland Revenue from all taxable earnings) - all of which in some way go towards the upkeep of our National Health Service. Not to mention the huge VAT levied on tobacco products, which incidentally also has a percentage apportioned out to the NHS.
