One thing I need explained to me is the common attitude of "I can afford health cover so why should I have to pay for someone else" ?
It seems kinda foreign to me. Not everyone is wealthy, not everyone has a high paying job, and more often than not our circumstances change and after a good hard working life we can find ourselves struggling. What if you were to fall off your mighty perch and become one of those who needs help?
I just don't understand the 'ME' attitude, and I for one am very happy everyone has the right to treatment in the public system here despite their income, even though I have to fund it through a slight increase in my tax. To me healthcare is a basic human right.. maybe I am barking up the wrong tree here, but still ... explain the mindset to me please.
