Still not going to help the low paid very much. When heating and food have gone up considerably so they will find it might not make much of a difference. In the US healthcare makes up 17% of GDP but only 4.5% of the inflation measure. So is massively under reported.

im failing to see any link of the uk minimum wage to US healthcare spending?

If its not going to help much, they might as well have no rise then?

It was an example of under reporting of inflation particularly for those who are on low pay.
