My govt promised to care for me and my family, from the creadle to the grave, for 10% of my working salary.
If the promise is kept, my feeling is that it is a good one.
The NHS isnt working well.. but this is an agument about use of resource, not about the idea.
Im America middle class jobs give health insurance to the middle class, and the govt gives medi-care to the working class (with exceptions) - the same amount of GDP is spent on health care everywhere.... the point is just which was is efficient
The lesson to learn is to stop arguing about who "owns" what resource, and to realise that society is a collectivism.
By all means go and opt out and live in Iceland or Madagascar if it offends your morals and love of dog eat dog, otherwise - every resource and force of production on this earth belongs to everyone equally.
