This is how it works in Britain. If i was 74 and knocked over, i would get taken to hospital, and given the care i needed. If the hospital couldnt do what i needed, i would be transfrerred to one that could.
I would get rehab and medication if i needed it. No questions asked, all free. If i was homeless, i would stay in hospital till i was found a place, probably in an old folks home. One of the problems with our system is that there are too many blocked beds, there are not enough places for older folks to go, if there was no one to care for them.
That organisation is called social services. One one ends up on the street.
I would also be paid my pension, and various benefits that fit my situation, or ilnesses. I would have a surplus. If i was able to look after myself i would get a flat in a purpose built block.
A scandal now hopefully remedied was foreingners, would fly here and have their babies then go home , or get cancer treatment etc. All free, no checks were made.
That is one of the reasons why the world wants to come here, weve haf 26,000 come over this year in boats. Doing it this way means that regardless of situation, you get the help you need.
No judgements are made. Whether you deserve it or not. Deserve is a wrong word, an American one, its judges and limits humanity. If you are in pain, etc then you get what you need. When it comes to the ideal of communism, Britain is closest to it, but we are not communist.
We have compassion in spades.
