I upvoted you because I think you are asking a good question. If Americans aren't more selfish than others with better functioning health care, it would support the view that our health system is what is what is suppressing our better natures. I agree to some extent but I when I see "I don't want my money going to $theOther" it's hard not to think that selfishness is part of the problem as well.

Where do you think the massive taxes on cigarettes and alcohol in most first world countries comes from? The calls for taxes on fatty foods? Requirements for extra insurance to do certain extreme sports? It's the way they say we don't want to pay for your life choices.
