"Fixing" Social Care

Boris Johnson's plan may tackle catastrophic care costs that often mean people have to sell their homes, according to Chris Thomas from the Institute for Public Policy Research, but it probably won't mean fundamentally better quality care for people who need support throughout their lives or in old age.Mike Cherry, chairman of the Federation of Small Businesses, says hiking national insurance to pay for adult social care is a sledgehammer on business and low earners.It's 'class warfare' says Richard Murphy, professor of accounting at Sheffield University. He says the Tory proposal has an obvious inherent bias in favour of the wealthy and against those on lower incomes who Johnson sees as less likely to vote for him.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
