Charge non-eea citizens properly for NHS Treatment
It's the case that in 2014-15 the NHS cost each man, woman and child £2,057. It's also the case that non-eea students and workers pay just £150 for full NHS service a year. This is called the Immigration Health Surcharge. We ask the government to increase this in line with the true cost to our NHS.
Additionally the cost of transporting a person who has dialed 999 within London according to The London Ambulance Service costs £254.57.
£2,057 figure according to

It is clear that the British taxpayer is subsidising medical treatment on our NHS.
Please sign this petition to ask the government to consider charging those using our NHS a fair amount far exceeding the £150 we charge at present.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action. You could start a new petition explaining clearly how you would like the immigration health charge for non-EEA nationals to be changed.
