text: I suggest we get away from the idea that health care is for "them" but paid for by "us". Why? because "us", the ones who pay, will inevitably, with old age, become "them" for younger people. We don't live in a vacuum people, where "I got mine" makes any sort of sense. You "got yours" with the help of everyone else, whether you're selling frankfurters out of a lunch wagon or building skyscrapers in New York, or making a killing on hedge fund trading, like Robert Mercer, the billionaire who bought the presidency for Donald Trump, the TV actor. Without the work of others we would all be in effect stranded alone on a desert island with one cocoanut tree and sharks circling.
  
  So, we pay into the health care apparatus, and when our turn comes, we reap what we have sown.
