Other things are much more important. In a sense all Americans are businessmen. There are few countries that value business, entrepreneurship, business people and property as highly as Americans.
- nonamegiven 14y agoOld people care. Because, as you point out, we really need it. How many old people are stuck in a job because of health insurance. There's a lot of old people.
- Gustomaximus 14y agoI feel you have different perspective, maybe that of a younger man. IMO people who are 35+ and support families will be more conscious about not having healthcare that a younger person. And the image of the entrepreneur predominately being a young man dropping out of college to form a company is not accurate. The reality is a large proportion of successful entrepreneurs are people exiting the corporate world mid career. And I would argue for them healthcare is a significant consideration. As for America valuing businessmen/entrepreneurs/property more than other countries, how do you get to this conclusion? Have you worked with people from abroad before? From Western Europe to India, China or Africa I have seen businessmen/entrepreneurs/property being held in very high esteem. I'm not sure how I would index how society values them but I would be hesitant to say the US values theirs more than other countries.
