I am sure many would disagree. If benefits were relied upon, would it not then be an infringement to take them away when the person had no other means to support themselves? Would you be happy for your parent, spouse or children to be placed in a situation where their basic needs were hardly met? We are talking about sick and vulnerable people here. There are human rights in law and there are human rights on a compassionate basis. We will just have to agree to disagree.
I am so pleased that you get a doctors appointment so quickly. You obviously don't live in an area where the NHS is overburdened. It isn't the case in many areas. Look at some of the large council areas where there has been a large influx of migrants over the years and where services have not been expanded to meet these needs. I have spoken with many who have personal experience of this so obviously some people find it problematic therefore this is an issue that needs to be addressed. We will agree to disagree on this issue too.
As to the good old days, it is a combination of both which has led to our current situation.
