If I have saved my whole life into a pension, 80% gets taken for my end-of-life care. If I only saved for the last 5 years of my career, 80% gets taken. Not sure how that makes sense.
But that monthly check you would get each month - what your "pay" is after you stop working - they take the 80% from that part. It is automatic, much like taxes. The other 20% goes into your account, and who has control of that money depends on how able-minded and stuff you are.
For most folks, there is a minimum pension they get so long as they work long enough in the country or simply live in the country long enough and age old enough to get the minimum pension. And they take 80% out of that.
Everyone simply has the same price for the state facilities. There are a few private facilities with different pricing, but it really isn't such a big deal if you don't go there. Just some differences - in-house cafeterias instead of centralized kitchens, for example.
2. Fair and equal access to both preschools and end-of life care. For example, Norway's nursing homes cost 80% of your pension, no matter what your pension is. And you are only eligible after you need more than a (free) nurse coming to your home 6 times a day... because it is cheaper.
3. Fair and equal access to quality schools, including college, university, and trade schools. This should be decoupled from the property / income taxes of an area. One school might have higher maintenance needs one year, while another does not and providing it at a large scale makes it easier on all.
4. Job contracts for all, no matter if you work part-time in a fast food place or you are the head of a coopration. In addition, unions being available for all - including management. This reduces some strife between the two since it is the different unions that are actually negotiating.
5. Being able to easily find out other people's pay and tax rates. This is going to be uncomfortable for many, but it will encourage transparency.
6 Support for those that aren't making enough to fill their individual needs so that they have access to all the tools that are needed for the modern world - this includes cell phones, clothing, computers, and internet access. This also would mean that caseworkers have the ability to make exceptions for those that have higher expenses for whatever reason. Strict poverty lines are rough for many folks and leave lots out in the cold.
