Dammit

Are the people who benefit from this going to vote Tory though, which is the goal?

That FT post suggests the answer is no - people would prefer not to lie on the floor of their bathroom for 9 hours before the ambulance arrives.

I guess it's been focus grouped or whatever, but I'd like to imagine that if I earned 250K a year (lol) , that I would cost more than 5K in tax savings to be bought like that. It's not enough (is it?) to make a behaviour change compared to the risk posed by poor police / ambulance / services

Yeah, the amount that individual benefits by would be eaten in a second by a serious medical situation (in terms of a one off problem) but also in general terms the plummeting UK pound is costing far more than the benefit of the tax cut.
