Private savings, as a rule, can pay the costs of treatment only for the thrifty and the well-off. So, unless we adopt the view that those without ample savings who fall seriously ill should quickly die (and so decrease the surplus population), a country with national health insurance will be a wealthier and more successful country.
自然，只有勤俭节约的小康之家才能靠私人储蓄负担治疗。因此，除非我们持有如果没有足够的储蓄，患重病就该活该速死（从而减少人口盈余）的观点，否则有国民健康保险的国家将变得更富有、更成功。这些观点让俾斯麦深信不疑。如今也一样。
