Episode Details

Andy Burnham’s bold new plan to overhaul Britain’s broken social care system is already stirring controversy—he’s resurrecting his old proposal to tax estates, dubbed the “death tax,” to fund universal care. Having pushed a similar 10% levy 15 years ago as health secretary, he’s back with renewed urgency, citing his father’s Alzheimer’s battle and the crushing reality that people with over $23,000 in savings are left to sell homes for care. With inheritance tax on the table, Burnham’s vision could redefine how Britain supports its aging population—no more letting families fall through the cracks.
