You know, I find this primitive obsession with medical care particularly fascinating.
Medical care of course is important, but so are education, engineering infrastructure, jobs, future generations.
Sigmund Freud would probably understand this obsession with medical care to be the primitive fear of dying.
It's a wholly natural, and good, thing to fear death.
However, death is inevitable, and nothing can be done about it.
One detects in all of the primitive campfires about medical care a sweaty fear and terror, and a desperate hope that medical care will make them live forever.
Alas! the poor primitives! Alas!
Even if this nation were to dedicate 100% of its income to medical care--and none at all to education, to roads and communications and commerce, to the future generations--that expenditure of 100% of all our income would not prevent the inevitable death of a single person.
Alas! the poor primitives! Alas! not destined to be immortal, the primitives! Alas!
