"Imagine all the people living life in peace. You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one. I hope someday you'll join us, and the world will be as one."
John Lennon

I hope someday people will realize there is a way to properly insure all citizens in an advanced civilization, but I'm afraid this Gene Roddenberry altruistic philosophy and sense of community in which humanity is an "enlightened" altruistic species is still a fantasy... but I've always been a dreamer, Paul...

Most people in America (mainly Republicans) with good jobs or pensions & good health insurance hate Obamcare or any kind of medical insurance program that would help insure those less fortunate. Myself after 25 years of being self-employed and having to drop medical insurance 15 years ago because of the high costs I now find my self unemployed and there is no way I can pay $1000 a month or more for insurance. As I deplete my savings unable to find work at age 58 that pays a living wage with medical insurance benefits and dealing with a back injury going on for 9 months now, I will either go bankrupt or die if I get another serious illness, that's the way it is. So I am living in Thailand because at least I can see a doctor and get some medical help here at reasonable rates and extend the time I have left before bankruptcy or death and hope I can hold on until Social Security kicks in @ age 62 (which won't be much). I live on about $750 a month (depending on how much physical/massage therapy I get, which is cheap here only about $10-20 a session).
