More sophisticated is to reflect on the impact on the attitude and morality. It is a process of economizing the social sector or as Bob Deacon said, ‘Health for all becomes health markets for all’ (Deacon 2000).

It is even said to make people dependent on the protection system and its services (Marsland 1996).
