I think the point of this question is the reverse - should those who can't pay NOT be allowed the higher standards of medical care? It's implicitly asking you whether a beggar shouldn't be allowed to have a life saving operation while a tycoon should...

I'm close-ish to Ghandi. And you're all idiots.

*sits down*

I'm not going to argue with you however, I'm just going to sit here to prove my point.

Still, I do know some stuff about the world, and I'm right wing in some senses, but I still am Lefty all the way.

Just I'm also a white middle class English kid who's never really known hardship or...been embarassed as in exiled etc.

I dunno.

I think that'd make me more Commie.

:)

I'll have you know I was Little Mr Communist in my year book... as in those little cartoon people.

I'm so damn Lefty.

Right, I'm rubbish at this, but I'll try my best.

Actually, I can't remember what I thought now. I think it's to do with people doing jobs that they're good at, instead of what they want to do? Or the other way around, this did confuse me.

Protectionism is to do with making people buy things from their own country instead of imports. I think.

Yes, they have to pay, that's the whole idea.

That's a different question. You have to answer as a form of unthreatened choice.

I thought this was just about religion, country, class?

To be honest, I'm confused.

I didn't know what protectism was to be fair.

That's what I thought and the manner in which I answered the question. But I considered that it might mean they pay more taxes, etc. in other areas of finance, so they get better health care for free.
