Very strongly agree

No, emergency care should not be denied to those cannot afford it

This answer aligns closely with the SSP's core values and policy positions. The party has a strong stance on healthcare being a human right and has campaigned against any form of healthcare privatization and for the NHS to be free at the point of use for everyone. Denying emergency care to those who cannot afford it would be fundamentally opposed to the SSP's principles.

No

The SSP's commitment to socialist principles includes the belief in universal healthcare. They have consistently advocated for a healthcare system that is accessible to all, regardless of one's ability to pay or nationality. This stance aligns with their support for policies that ensure no one is denied emergency medical care.

Very strongly disagree

Yes

The Scottish Socialist Party (SSP) has historically supported the principle of free healthcare for all, as part of its broader socialist and internationalist principles. Charging foreign visitors for emergency medical treatment would be contrary to these principles, as the SSP believes in a healthcare system that is free at the point of use for everyone, regardless of nationality.

Very strongly disagree

Yes, but only those outside of the EU

The SSP's internationalist outlook and commitment to equality and social justice would lead them to oppose any measures that discriminate between visitors based on their country of origin, including those outside of the EU. They would view such a policy as contrary to the principles of universal healthcare access.

Very strongly disagree

Yes, and require visitors to show proof of insurance before entering the UK

Requiring visitors to show proof of insurance before entering the UK would be antithetical to the SSP's vision of healthcare as a universal and fundamental right. Such a policy would create barriers to access and is contrary to the party's advocacy for a healthcare system that is inclusive and free at the point of use for everyone.
