Everyone over 40 would start contributing towards the cost of care in later life under radical plans being studied by ministers to finally end the crisis in social care, the Guardian can reveal.

據(jù)英國(guó)《衛(wèi)報(bào)》報(bào)道，根據(jù)大臣們正在研究的一項(xiàng)激進(jìn)計(jì)劃，40歲以上的人將開始對(duì)自己的晚年繳納醫(yī)療費(fèi)用，以最終結(jié)束社會(huì)福利危機(jī)。

Under the plan over-40s would have to pay more in tax or national insurance, or be compelled to insure themselves against hefty bills for care when they are older. The money raised would then be used to pay for the help that frail elderly people need with washing, dressing and other activities if still at home, or to cover their stay in a care home.

根據(jù)該計(jì)劃，40歲以上的人將不得不支付更多的稅款或國(guó)民保險(xiǎn)，或者被迫在年老時(shí)為自己投保，以應(yīng)對(duì)高額的醫(yī)療費(fèi)用?；I得的錢將被用來支付那些虛弱的老人在家里需要的洗漱、穿衣和其他活動(dòng)的費(fèi)用，或者支付他們?cè)陴B(yǎng)老院的住院費(fèi)。

The plans are being examined by Boris Johnson’s new health and social care taskforce and the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC). They are gaining support as the government’s answer to the politically perilous question of who should pay for social care.

鮑里斯·約翰遜的新衛(wèi)生和社會(huì)關(guān)懷小組以及衛(wèi)生和社會(huì)福利部正在審查這些計(jì)劃。政府對(duì)誰應(yīng)該為社會(huì)福利買單這一政治危險(xiǎn)問題的回答正在為他們贏得支持。

Sources say the principle of over-40s meeting the cost of a reformed system of care for the ageing population is emerging as the government’s preferred option for fulfilling the prime minister’s pledge just over a year ago to “fix the crisis in social care once and for all”. Social care is a devolved matter but the plans could apply to the whole of the UK as they may involve the tax system.

消息人士稱，為了兌現(xiàn)首相一年前“一勞永逸地解決社會(huì)保障危機(jī)”的承諾，讓40歲以上的老人承擔(dān)改革后的老齡人口保障體系所需費(fèi)用的原則，正成為政府的首選方案。社會(huì)保障是一個(gè)被移交的問題，但這些計(jì)劃可能適用于整個(gè)英國(guó)，因?yàn)樗鼈兛赡苌婕岸愂阵w系。

In Japan everyone starts contributing once they reach 40. In Germany everyone pays something towards that cost from the time they start working, and pensioners contribute too. Currently 1.5% of every person’s salary, and a further 1.5% from employers or pension funds, are ringfenced to pay for care in later life.

在日本，每個(gè)人到了40歲就開始交錢。在德國(guó)，每個(gè)人從開始工作的時(shí)候就會(huì)支付一定的費(fèi)用，養(yǎng)老金領(lǐng)取者也會(huì)支付。目前，是每個(gè)人工資的1.5%，還有1.5%來自雇主或養(yǎng)老基金，被圈起來用于支付晚年的醫(yī)療費(fèi)用。

Older people in Germany who have had their needs assessed can use the money to pay carers to help them with personal tasks at home, or for care home fees or even to give to relatives and friends for helping to look after them.

在德國(guó)，經(jīng)過需求評(píng)估的老年人可以用這筆錢付錢給照顧他們的人，讓他們幫他們完成家里的個(gè)人任務(wù)，或者支付養(yǎng)老院的費(fèi)用，甚至給幫助照顧他們的親戚和朋友。

One source with knowledge of the government’s deliberations said: “The latest thinking is that there’s a preference for some sort of Japanese-style model where once you are over 40 you start paying into a central risk pool. They are deadly serious about that.”

一位了解政府討論的消息人士表示：“最新的想法是，人們傾向于某種日本式的模式，即一旦你過了40歲，你就要開始向一個(gè)中央風(fēng)險(xiǎn)池投資。他們對(duì)這種想法非常認(rèn)真?！?/p>

The Conservative MP Damian Green also sees payments by over-40s as the way to resolve the funding question.

保守黨議員達(dá)米安·格林也認(rèn)為，40歲以上的人支付養(yǎng)老金是解決資金問題的途徑。

However, the Treasury is understood to harbour doubts about moving in that direction. “There are vast differences of opinion within government about this,” the same source said. And it risks angering a generation who will have paid, or still be paying, off their student loans and may have a mortgage and the costs of rearing children to meet.

不過，據(jù)信美國(guó)財(cái)政部對(duì)朝這個(gè)方向前進(jìn)持懷疑態(tài)度。“在這個(gè)問題上，政府內(nèi)部存在著巨大的意見分歧，”同一消息人士說。這可能會(huì)激怒已經(jīng)或仍在償還學(xué)生貸款、可能還要償還抵押貸款和養(yǎng)育子女成本的一代人。

But a shift to over-40s paying more looks likely to find favour with campaigners. Caroline Abrahams, the charity director at Age UK, said: “Some older people may look askance at the idea of only the over-40s paying to fund a new national care system. However, if that’s what our government is considering embracing here than it may be rather a good deal, since that system offers a level of provision and reassurance that we can only dream of here at the moment.

但是，40歲以上的人支付更多的錢，這一轉(zhuǎn)變可能會(huì)得到活動(dòng)家們的支持?！癆ge UK”的慈善主管卡羅琳·亞伯拉罕斯說：“只有40歲以上的人來為新的國(guó)家護(hù)理體系買單，這一想法可能會(huì)引起一些老年人的懷疑。然而，如果這就是我國(guó)政府現(xiàn)在考慮的，那么這可能是一筆相當(dāng)不錯(cuò)的交易，因?yàn)檫@一制度提供了我們?cè)谶@里只能夢(mèng)想到的（老年）供應(yīng)和保障?！?/p>

Introducing a comprehensive and reliable system like that in Germany and Japan would “arguably [be] an appropriate act of national atonement after the catastrophic loss of life we’ve seen in care homes during the pandemic”.

引入一種德國(guó)和日本那樣的全面而可靠的體系，“可以說（是）在大流行期間我們?cè)陴B(yǎng)老院看到的災(zāi)難性人命流逝之后，一種適當(dāng)?shù)膰?guó)家贖罪行為”。

A Whitehall source said: “As we come out of the Covid-19 pandemic some of the issues that were put on pause during it – like obesity and social care – have come back on stream. The social care problem has been around for ages and there is a renewed focus now on getting it fixed.”

評(píng)論翻譯

londontravels13
Age 40 seems quite low. Older millennials will be approaching this age.
The 60+ surely have greater wealth from property and pensions than those in the 40-55/60 bracket.
It sounds as though the proposal is to create a risk pot or sink fund as opposed to ring fencing an individual’s contribution (i.e a pension). So, as with NI the young workforce will be paying for those who are retired.

40歲的交費(fèi)年齡線似乎很低。歲數(shù)大一點(diǎn)的千禧一代就要到這個(gè)年齡了。
與40-55/60年齡段的人相比，60歲以上的人肯定在房地產(chǎn)和養(yǎng)老金方面擁有更多財(cái)富。
聽起來，這一提議似乎是要?jiǎng)?chuàng)建一個(gè)風(fēng)險(xiǎn)池或基金池，而不是圈定一個(gè)人的貢獻(xiàn)（也就是個(gè)人養(yǎng)老金）。因此，和國(guó)民保險(xiǎn)制度一樣，年輕的勞動(dòng)力將為退休人員買單。

Having just turned 40, I can confirm. Missed the real estate gravy train, missed the pension gravy train, got to start paying uni fees, got the high tax rates, and had the joys of the GFC and COVID-19. Can''t wait to be creatively screwed over again.

我剛過了40歲，我可以肯定。錯(cuò)過了房地產(chǎn)和退休金的黃金機(jī)遇，開始支付大學(xué)學(xué)費(fèi)，享受了高稅率，并且享受了全球金融危機(jī)和疫情帶來的歡樂。迫不及待地想要（用新養(yǎng)老金體系）再變著花樣重新把自己cao一遍了。

We need to fix adult social care, that''s a given but I''m at a bit of a loss as to why we make people start paying at 40 and why we seem to need a new arrangement for it. What is wrong with making a small increase to national insurance and paying for old age care over a your whole working life time?

我們需要修復(fù)成人的社會(huì)保障體系，這是既定的，但我有點(diǎn)困惑，為什么我們要讓人們?cè)?0歲時(shí)開始交錢，并且為什么我們似乎需要一種新的安排。對(duì)國(guó)民保險(xiǎn)稍微增加一點(diǎn)，然后在你整個(gè)工作生涯中支付養(yǎng)老保險(xiǎn)，為什么不能這樣搞呢？

If I may, once you reach an age and state of health that requires you to become a drain on financial resources instead of a contributor. Would you not like the young generations to contribute?

That''d be fine but what I''m expecting is to fund the Boomers'' care and then find that there''s nothing left in the pot when it comes to our own. Same as with university education, decent pensions and retiring before 70.

Age shouldn’t be a factor for paying more tax, wealth and capacity to pay more should be. When larger corporations are skipping on paying their share taxing people and including their age as a factor is not fair.
I’m lucky enough to be hitting 30 with a well earning job but i know plenty of older people who will and have never achieved a high earning income.

年齡不應(yīng)該是多交稅的因素，財(cái)富和支付能力才應(yīng)該是。當(dāng)更大的公司跳過支付他們的份額時(shí)，向人們征稅并把他們的年齡作為一個(gè)（交多少錢的）因素是不公平的。
我很幸運(yùn)，到了30歲，有一份收入不錯(cuò)的工作，但我認(rèn)識(shí)很多年紀(jì)更大的人，他們將永遠(yuǎn)無法，并且也從未獲得過高收入。

Boomers strike again.
The Tory party are only concerned for the grey vote. Tax on Income will take wealth from the young and had it to the already rich boomers.
Boomers have bled the country dry. Houses, pensions and even the natural resources without any consideration for the next generation.
Even to this day they are more selfish than ever.
The young need to turn up and vote. We have been dealing with the mess of the greedy boomers for far too long. They must pay for their own social care
How is a young person ever going to get on the housing ladder with the high cost of Living.
Boomers continue to destroy the young

來自嬰兒潮一代的再次打擊。
保守黨只關(guān)心灰色選票。對(duì)收入征稅將把財(cái)富從年輕人手中轉(zhuǎn)移到已經(jīng)很富有的嬰兒潮一代手中。
嬰兒潮一代榨干了這個(gè)國(guó)家的血。房子，養(yǎng)老金，甚至自然資源，而不考慮下一代。
甚至到了今天，他們比以往任何時(shí)候都更加自私。
年輕人需要站出來投票。我們應(yīng)對(duì)貪婪的嬰兒潮一代造成的混亂已經(jīng)太久了。他們必須為自己的社會(huì)福利買單
一個(gè)年輕人如何才能在高生活成本的情況下獲得住房呢？
嬰兒潮一代繼續(xù)摧毀年輕人

I never thought I''d say this but I am now actually happy that I am planning to leave the country that was born in, spent years defending and swore blind I''d never leave.

So this policy makes you extra happy to be leaving so you get to avoid this proposed tax at 40+ and you are going to Germany?
Is that the same Germany where everyone contributes 1.5% of their salary towards this type of social care fund and another 1.5% comes from employers or the pension fund? The same Germany where this idea is based on?

所以這個(gè)政策會(huì)讓你特別高興離開，這樣你就可以避開40歲以上交錢，然后去德國(guó)？

Everyone should pay for elderly care, from whatever age they earn enough. Socialised healthcare includes elderly care, and by all paying into a pot throughout our lives, nobody misses out.
I do not accept that this requires an increase in taxation to achieve. We''ve seen multiple times how wantonly useless this government can be at efficient spending and investment.

每個(gè)人都應(yīng)該支付養(yǎng)老費(fèi)用，無論他們年齡多大，只要他們掙得夠多。社會(huì)化的醫(yī)療保健包括對(duì)老年人的照顧，通過在我們的一生中把所有的錢存入一個(gè)儲(chǔ)蓄池，沒有人會(huì)被漏掉。
我不認(rèn)為這需要增加稅收來實(shí)現(xiàn)。我們已經(jīng)多次看到這個(gè)政府在有效支出和投資方面是多么的沒用了。

I think it''s time we seriously start talking about legalized voluntary euthanasia for people who hit a specific criteria.
Plenty of people don''t want to live, perhaps even moreso the elderly who often feel they''re a burden and have ever-diminishing quality of life.
Give at least the terminally ill and the old the option.
No outstanding debts above ￡Xk, no dependants, artificial waiting period unless terminally ill, automatic medical and psychological examinations by at least two separate doctors, assign a social worker/advocate during the whole waiting period.
If they pass all the abuse-prevention metrics then let them choose a date, take them to hospital after saying goodbyes, lethally inject them or asphyxiate them with Nitrogen.
Us humans are expensive and there are too many of us. We keep talking about improving life and saving the planet so let''s get serious.
