I'm not sure I get any more value from the public service than anyone else. Do I get faster service from the police? More officers assigned to protect me?

Any perks from the NHS for the wealthy? Or the same service as everyone else?

One thing I know for sure - less public money is allocated to my children (I live in the countryside) than children in urban areas, due to the funding formula.

"Clash of Autonomy and Interdependence" is an interesting somewhat related read on the topic[^1].
