I don't really understand why it is stealth, or tax for that matter.
And not the b***** taxpayer again!! I presume that you're referring to yourself?
Every single adult in the UK pays tax. Every one. The only exception that springs to mind is people in prison, and even then it is being paid for them.
So I presume that what you really meant was "transferred to the taxpayer paid by people will be".
Now presumably you realise that 'people' are paying always? Because everything is paid for with money collected from you or directly by you. Only the point of payment changes.
However, if you're paying for your ear treatment directly that means that you are not subsidising anybody else's ear treatment and they are not having to subsidise yours.And nobody is paying the NHS to manage or administer that service.
What's your problem with that exactly?
