Around 80% of private medical insurance is provided by UK employers, indicating the Tory engineered crisis (and fear of slow treatment impacting return to work) added costs to the private sector (among other things).
If firms complaining about employees' NI tax rises are also paying the Tories (effective) health crisis tax through the 'need' for private medical insurance, a better NHS (paid for by NI) might actually save them money!
Labour should say this!
