I've NEVER met a person who feels the path to being wealthy is to hate and neglect the needy. And it's not just the wealthy that benefit from the American health care system. It's much of the lower class who are on medicaid. It's much of the middle class who work for a living and have adequate health insurance. It's much of the wealthy, most of whom have worked hard all their lives and also have insurance. It's also the elderly who are on medicare.
...and lets not forget the illegal Mexicans who overrun our hospitals but still manage to get treated. And lastly, lets not exclude the Canadians who get tired of waiting for a procedure and head south to the US; and lets not omit the pregnant Canadian women who our flown to Seattle to give birth in a US hospital because the Canadian clinics can't handle the number of pregnancies right now.
