Well, you said that something was true for ‘people’ that is, we both agree, only true for British citizens.
You can decide for yourself what you thought you were saying when you said that, but the fact is that non-British citizens living in the UK are people, and pay to use the NHS.

However, to address a more substantive point: the existence of people in the UK who are not British citizens is not just some kind of bizarre and exceptional ‘edge case’ we can just ignore. It’s essential to the running of the NHS as it now exists.
And that is a world in which some people in the UK (British citizens) have access to more or less free healthcare, and some - including many of those who provide that healthcare - do not.
