Nationally. In the West. Globally. I also had a reference to the TV docu they just have had on TV, about the conditions in not few ERs in major cities that make mockery of what you said.
I think most people will not start looking beyond themselves before they get hit themselves.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and assume you do not recognize your own editorial style here
What TV docu? Did they say the ERs are devoid of illegal aliens and low income people who don't have insurance? Because that's what it would take to make a mockery of what I said. Unless today is Opposite Day or something.
Yeah, I have my mind made up, same as you. So what? I'm not falling in line with your viewpoint. I live in the US, I understand how capitalism works, and what it takes to get ahead in life. So, I do it. No complaints here, the system works as advertised. The opportunity is the same for everyone, so if they make bad choices, or choices that limit their standard of living, why should I subsidize them?
As long as a capitalist system provides opportunity, it cannot be beat.
