      - In the UK, NHS health care is available free or at a reduced cost. People with medical conditions may also receive income and other support from the government via various benefits.
      - This support allows people with health problems to have the best possible life expectancy, and to live through many of life’s events as others.

      - Young adults have more access to higher education than in previous generations.
