I can't look at it case by case, I just have to be happy I live in a country that provides numerous benefits to it's citzens - one of which is health care. The trade off is higher taxes. The US is pro-capatalism and anti-tax ...that's not a bad thing but you use this approach to almost everything including health care. Everyone else in the industrialized world does health care the other way.
