you presume that I have a low standard of living.
In my country, the standard of living is dependent upon the individual and NOT the government or the collective.
If you say so
Just always keep in mind what happens in countrys where the gap between haves and haves not grow to big.
I am in the "haves" category and recognise that I am out numbered 99 to 1. Not good odds for me.
That's always been the case.
There will always be those that opt for stealing over working for what they want.

Forcing people to pay for someone else's stuff is evil in my opinion. Your opinion just happens to be different and no more valid.

Allowing your fellow citizens to die just because they don't have enough money is the purest evil there is.
Did money keep Charlie Gard from dying? His parents raised money for him, but he still died because his government empowered the medical apparatus to decide that he would. End of story.

if you have been paying a portion of your earnings throughout the years while you were working...
believing that if you ever hit hard times and need the assistance yourself you will receive it...

How many haven't paid in anything or very little?

Such an easy remark to make.
If, in The U.K. you are born with a disability that makes you unable to ever work, your Healthcare needs are looked after from cradle to grave.
There are always reasons why some people are never able to pay into the system.

Rubbish.
You are trying to tar everyone who hasn't paid into the system with the same brush.
Shame on you.
