I'm all for old folks having to sell tier home to fund social care. Where does it say that you should get a place in an OAP home and still get to keep your £300,000 house to hand over to the kids when you snuff it.

If there are no incentives to build up wealth then you will end up with a society of scroungers. I am already planning to run down and spend my wealth before the advent of any social care needs for myself. Thus, I have absolutely no further incentive to carry on working at this point, which surely is bad for an economy that relies on people paying taxes.Comment

The Government should be encouraging people to become self sufficient. It should allow people to opt out of NI and invest their money how ever they see fit. Of course the flip side of this is that you will have to pay when you want to use the doctors.
Then again, encouraging people to look after themselves means that there will be less people paying NI and this Government needs all the coin it can bludgeon out of us!
