Boris Johnson said patients should have to pay to use the NHS so they will 'value' it more - Business Insider

In a 1995 column unearthed by Business Insider, UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson called for patients to be charged to use the National Health Service to prevent free care being "abused" by people who can afford to pay.

"If NHS services continue to be free in this way, they will continue to be abused, like any free service," he wrote in the Spectator magazine.He added that those who say that "in the future the NHS should be for those who are genuinely sick, and for the elderly" were "bang on the nail." Johnson said that the only reason charges hadn't been introduced by the Conservative government at the time was political "cowardice."
