Completely agree with you there, we live in an age where universal healthcare should be a right instead of an optional extra. Some countries do it better than others, I'm from Australia (and live in Netherlands) and I think that both countries (whilst not perfect) have decent systems in place, which are currently combined with a public/private healthcare insurance system as well. (They are also different to each other, on reading again, it may have sounded like that they were identical!).

We all dumped ourselves ( in varying degrees) together into this mess (both wittingly and unwittingly), and the best way out is together, supporting every person, as the effects of the pollution are non-discriminatory as well.
