So the NHS is planning to stop giving free treatment to fat people and smokers. As a smoker, I fall into one of the categories and I am more than willing not to receive free treatment. I will from now on expect not to pay National Insurance and when the time comes that I may need treatment I will use my saved contributions to go private!
