I think you've hit on why it's also so hard to change the system in the US. Quite a number of people do have this great care. They work (or are trapped working) for big companies or the gov. who subsidize their health insurance. They simply don't understand when people say the US has all these issues because for them there are no issues. This is just another example of the US being a place where the gap between the haves and have nots is extremely large.
