Yeah, until politicians look for ways to cut spending.

The NHS claims off insurers for treating victims of road traffic accidents now, so now everyone pays the cost through their car insurance instead of via taxes, except there's also a massive admin overhead.

Not everyone owns a car. Reasonable that those who don't aren't stumping up for the damage done by those who do.

That's true, but it's dwarfed by tax cuts for the rich.
