Burnham proposes free social care, says not £18 billion.

Andy Burnham stated that free social care for England would not cost as much as a reported £18 billion. He argued that people are already facing "huge" costs, losing savings or homes, and called the current system as unfair as American healthcare. Burnham put forward this reform, which he anticipates will receive contributions from everyone, proposing it be presented to voters during a general election.
