ABSTRACT
The planner has several different problems concerning relationships, position and social prestige first in relating to the service user, and in seeking to deter the alternative organisation of consumers' interests and secondly, in relation to Government and its interests. And the most important contemporary responsibility in politics is to ensure that everyone, rich or poor, comes into one market, with all the powers of choice in networks enjoyed by the middle class. Here the middle class who are capable of providing more for themselves compete for a restricted pool of services with the poor, who are unable to provide for themselves and who compete less successfully. Here the author believes that competition and the benefits of mutual-aid and co-operation in working-class self-organisation can be combined, in the Patient Guaranteed Care Association. Further, it offers no incentive to the individual to consider opportunity cost, nor is there any measure of capacity to benefit.
