Q#2

Answer

Just as society tries to ensure that no one starves by providing food stamps, etc. it makes sense that some medical procedures would be available to all based on need and not on ability to pay. A classical example are vaccinations against common diseases. 

On the other hand, there are some medical procedures which very few people would agree should be available to all without pay, but which most people are perfectly willing to have those can afford them pay for them. A classical example are cosmetic surgeries such as liposuction, breast augmentation, etc. 

So very few would agree that it is all one way or the other as in our question.
