Healthcare is more necessary than anything probably apart from nutrition. That people go without it and then are forced to rely on others is absolute madness that does not occur in ANY OTHER COUNTRY. The US does not exist in a seperate universe, it is bound by the same laws of nature, economics, etc as anywhere else.
