What the petition asks
Our NHS can no longer sustain such misuse of funds by paying for people who have not contributed and are therefore not entitled to be treated in our cash strapped NHS Just because a person has decided to travel to our country without any form of health insurance british taxpayer are not responsible
the solution to this problem is quite simple, Anyone entering our country must provide proof of an insurance policy on arrival at border control, NO insurance, NO entry.
This would be even easier if the person buying the ticket also had to buy insurance at the same time, NO insurance, NO ticket.
