People that do not benefit society at all, like celebrities that are known from that they are known, can buy a diamond ring for 1.5+ mil dollars. And the people awarded with highest, most prestigious award that human can receive for pushing humankind further and further can't afford to pay for medical bills. There is something really wrong with the world in which we live.

- greeneggs 8y agoPerhaps I am missing something, but the Vox story says that he could afford to pay his medical bills. He sold some assets, and paid his bills. There are much better arguments for universal health care than someone with almost $800K in unneeded assets. Taxes should first subsidize health care for those who can't afford it on their own.
