Sorry, I didn't realise that the 'etc.' was in fact the provision of basic health care.[/quote]
The etc was supposed to include all things that would come under the category heading of basic human rights, for example if a prisoner collapsed with a heart attack I'd expect them to be helped, but if a prisoner asked for a boob job whilst in prison then I'd have to say they shouldn't be allowed it.
Basic rights means anything that is essential to our well being. Being able to vote is a priviledge that we shouldn't allow to be abused.
