Is access to Health Care Barred for Asylum Seekers in UK?

It is indeed saddened to read that the UK Government have plans to barred Asylum Seekers from receiving free health care treatment in UK, I wish to remind us all and especially the law makers that Asylum seekers are all foreigners and from every part of the World they come from they all have a very poor health care facility, most of whom came into UK with different illnesses, most have been in detention in their different countries, they are mostly malnourished as a result of the fact that they are coming from underdeveloped countries or could have undergone so many ill-treatments, some of whom came to UK by ship, and some where transported by lorries across the borders in a very unpleasant situation, some of whom are physically and psychologicaly imbalanced. These vulnerable people if denied access to health care will tantamount to a massive outbreak of diseases in UK in the near future, Asylum Seekers in UK should be allowed to access free medical treatment while in UK, and not only on emergency because while in UK and there is an earthquake (which most of us witnessed yesterday) it affect all in our society irrespective of colour, background, age group, location, language, ethnic group, religion or status etc.
I must say that in as much as people are refused Asylum and in one way or the other they are still in UK they should be allowed a free medical treatment to save lives first for humanity as well as enable a check in spread of numerous diseases across UK. Asylum Seekers are human beings like everyone of us, is only that they are being subjected to the name Asylum Seekers because they came to UK to seek asylum, most of whom are experts and specialists in their field of profession. Due to the conditions they found themselves "Asylum seekers" they subjected to living a pauperish lively hood because they can’t afford many things in UK. Their impoverished situation, malnutrition, and fear of the unknown i.e. fear of been grabbed by the Home office (dawn raid) detained / deported back to the country where they fled persecution have inadvertently subjected them to fear which leads to low selfesteem, psyicological effects and could aggravate aggression in many cases.
