ricgem2002 Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 what ever will the tories think of next http://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/other/david-cameron-open-to-idea-of-workers-saving-up-to-fund-own-sick-pay/ar-AAcUBag?ocid=mailsignoutmd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crookedspire Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 I don't think this idea would work, if a person is on a low wage and already struggling to pay their way in life how can they put money aside for insurance? Just another idea to save money . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna B Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 There are already insurance schemes you can pay into for if you lose your job, to cover mortgage payments etc. And when you need it, it's like trying to get blood out of a stone. They will happily take your premiums then try every trick in the book not to pay out. Not a good advert for insurance schemes.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricgem2002 Posted July 14, 2015 Author Share Posted July 14, 2015 its just an idea being thrown about at the minute(so they say) but again it looks like this wont again affect the rich but working class people it seems will be the ones paying into the system Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chem1st Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Sounds like a great idea. They could call it National Insurance... hang on?!? 4% 100 years ago, to cover pension and unemployment benefit, and unemployment was more than the pension. Now up to 12% and unemployment benefit no higher in real terms, much lower even as a share of GDP. New 4% pension tax on income already introduced and 4% scheme for unemployment being suggested. Working class ought have the 4% NEST cancelled, NI reduced to 4% and JSA tripled. Minimum wage doubled to ensure work pays. All completely affordable too.
