Very strongly agree

Yes, and require visitors to show proof of insurance before entering the UK

The Conservative party has been in favor of requiring foreign visitors to pay for their healthcare costs. In 2018, the UK government expanded the Immigration Health Surcharge to include more foreign visitors, requiring them to pay a fee to access the NHS. This policy change demonstrates the party's strong support for requiring visitors to show proof of insurance before entering the UK.
