In the UK, you do not have to have employed to have access to, arguably, one of the
best health services in the world (NHS). Everyone here enjoys a health service which
is "free at the point of delivery" - ie it is paid for via income tax. If you have
never paid 1 penny in tax your entire life you have the same provision as a tax payer
earning £500,000 per annum. "Social Exclusion" is a wider term, I used it to mean
those who feel alienated/not part of/ unwanted by society.
