I was watching The Good Place, and one of the characters explained that as we grow up, we overcome me vs us, putting the needs of the group ahead of your own. This would be like helping your friends or family. Then she said the next step is overcoming us vs them, which most of humanity still struggles with, and is where racism, nationalism, etc, comes from.
I am probably poorly paraphrasing, but thats the jist.
The biggest lie Americans believe about health care is the price of health care. There's no real reason it costs 32,000 usd to have a life saving surgery done. People get charged that much because they can get charged that much.

"financing other people's problems"... so they've just described insurance? I don't that person really grasps economies of scale.
