Actually the point I was making was that the less well off don't suffer here or as you put it :-

that leaves the poorest in society having to be reliant on charity or just die

I believe that to be the case in UK too ? Those employed pay taxes which are in turn used to support the NHS (taxpayer funded) so theoretically the NHS isn't "free" it is subsidised by the working man & Woman. Yes I pay several times over while I work, but should I be unfortunate enough to lose my employment I can rest assured I will receive the same standard of treatment (without having to put my hand in my pocket) as I would've when employed.
