I see no good reason for them to remain as it is, it's an out-dated and unfair funding mechanism. Both would be more cost efficient in private hands, we'd save thousands in taxes, and can choose a level that suits us. I pay the high tax band, and therefor a lot more into it than poor people, but if we both had an illness, I would go to my local hospital just like them. I think I would like to pay for a private hospital, but why? when I already pay for the NHS, I'm loathed to do it. And with the BBC, I could tolerate 2 min adverts every half hr, if it meant saving £120 a year, considering I watch about 3hrs of BBC programming a week, and that's just footie focus and the occasional match of the day!
