Maybe you will, maybe you won't

NI pays for the Health service, including the ambulances and paramedics 
that come to the aid of thousands of tourists every year.

anyone who works pays towards it.

It's a shame they don't collect more NI and then we might have a much 
better Health service.

Think of it as liability tax - you serve people drinks, they get drunk, 
they fall over, the NHS patches them up - Karma in action
