We do have a somewhat similar problem where depending on where you live you get slightly different social support, but this comes as a consequence of local government. Local government need to have a balanced book where those that pay more local taxes than the resources they consumes from local government matches those that consume more than they pay.
If a local region has an influx of citizens that consume more of local resources than they pay in local taxes, the local government then only really has one primary option: reducing who get support and how much support. Health clinics can as a result vary greatly between regions, but since there much fewer hospitals, multiple regions have to join up to a single one and thus the difference get more smoothed out.
With covid-19 pandemic there has been one political change where the right has gone out with the goal of fully nationalizing healthcare, which is a bit odd in terms of left vs right.
