But that's exactly why I disagree with the current system. It creates a rift between the have and have-nots. Why should a less well-off person be not entitled to have the same benefits as someone more affluent? In my opinion, a country should be responsible for all of its citizens, not matter what their income or social status. It's good to know that my S20 entitles me to the same health care and benefits as anyone else. "Decent" doesn't do the job.
