B · The state should provide health care, free when you need it.
World, unweighted: 50% A · 50% neither · 0% B · n = 2
🇦🇹 n=0
of 100
A · Free trade and business have done more to end poverty than state help has.
B · State help has done more to end poverty than free trade and business have.
World, unweighted: 0% A · 100% neither · 0% B · n = 2
🇦🇹 n=0
