UKBA Consultations on charging foreigners for NHS

Hi all - this has already gone up in News and in Visas & Citizenship, but as many of you may have heard there is a proposal to begin charging all foreigners without permanent residency for use of the NHS. If you're working in the UK you may be thinking, "Hey, don't I already pay for NHS through tax?" and the answer is YES - so please take some time to respond to the UKBA's Consultations:

It will take you 15 minutes and it is very important.
