It doesn't really matter, but worth knowing, only a small amount of your national insurance goes toward NHS costs. The NHS is primarily funded by general taxation. Your National Insurance contributions largely go to paying for state pensions.
That's an excellent point, state pensions are a significant burden, particularly police. We need to look after those guys so they can continue to prosecute the unwinnable war on drugs.
