When Marshall said: "The explanation lies in the fact that the core of citizenship at this stage was composed of civil rights. And civil rights were indispensable to a competitive market economy. They gave to each man, as part of his independent status, the power to engage as an independent unit in the economic struggle and made it possible to deny him social protection on the ground that he was equipped with the means to protect himself." I believe according to his quote, that all citizens and he specified "Citizenship", means "All" as a package given to someone have the rights of living benefits. he did not say the rich or the poor, or the ill or the healthy, he meant all. When one struggles, equal rights give you the chance to claim for your economic benefits. There are no exceptions. Protection to the individual is part of that benefit. You were born or being a citizen of this country, then you will obtain what is yours. Is it true now days? perhaps no, but at least we have a voice to fight and speak for our rights.
