Really? I didn't know that.
Why would he not have wanted something like that?
What about the 'welfare state'? Could that have been a reason too and was he against that as well?
Sorry to go off at a tangent but, although I believe the welfare state (and NHS) was an excellent concept, I can't help thinking that (possibly due to mismanagement) the welfare state has been abused heavily since those early days.
