Actually, I believe that the US WWII generation did more to improve
healthcare around the world than any nation in the history of the
world, especially when they were riding the gravy train in the 1950's
and 60's. (US medicine and transportation of food surpluses probably
did more to create a population problem in third world countries that
anything else.) My generation has become noticeably stingier as our
balance of trade swung around from crazy black to very red, starting
with Nixon. Now it appears some do not even think we can care for our
own people. And the argument is that it is everyone for himself. If
this argument prevails I see the dark ages ahead and a return to
feudal times.
As the namesake of this list has said many times, the enemy is the
oligarchy always and forever.

There are billions of people around the world with worse healthcare

redistribute wealth to improve healthcare because of the belief that
everyone should have a chance to live and be healthy, then why not
focus on redistributing wealth from people in the US to the people in
the world who have far worse health care than those in the US?
