They know private healthcare is no good at serious illness and the NHS is always the backstop.

Billionaires are the problem. Everyone needs to pay their fair share of taxes, but the bar has been raised and, at least in the US, there are a lot more millionaires in the middle class.

Hell, if you own a home and have a retirement investment account and you're not in deep debt, you're probably a millionaire. It doesn't mean you have $1 million in cash in the bank; it just means your net worth is over $1 million.

It is very important not to conflate/confuse the terms 'millionaire' and 'super-rich'.

hmmm, can't speak to the UK but in the US, millionaires aren't the super rich, it's 2026, not 1926, millionaires are retirees, at least if you're talking 1-2 million > here it's a vanishingly small number of people who have more than that, & that's supposed to fund 30 years without working

so i'd say it's unsurprising that most millionaires are aware of their need for medical workers as they age

Even the bigger part of the CDU (in government and loudly against taxing the rich) want to tax the rich.
