Everyone I know from anywhere on the political spectrum would consider it honorable to pay for your mom’s surgery in the way you described. I’m not doubting your experience, but I don’t think it represents most Americans or even most right-wing Americans. I think the rest of your point, about Americans in general not trusting the government to do things efficiently or competently, is true though.
