Well, let us agree to violently disagree, good Americans that we both are! LOL!
I have debated essentially this same topic in the Cellar once before. I consider it a waste of time to have the same old argument again. If it makes you feel better to believe that a significant proportion of Americans are too lazy to educate themselves, feel free to think that. I consider such an opinion to be an intellectually lazy one, myself.
If you feel that a people can maintain a civilized society and remain viable as a nation by rationing out medical care to some but not others, then you are wrong. No one human being is intrinsically more valuable than the next. Suppose we both develop the same illness that is fatal if untreated. I have the money for the cure and you don't. Too bad for you and lucky me. Such an outlook is unacceptable to me. If that's the society you want to live in, here, have my medicine and live in your society. I'd rather not.
