You talk a lot about stuff you don't know about.

You see Tom you bash your country a lot without really knowing how good you have it. Our system has some major flaws but it is still better than where my wife is from. Way better. That outpatient surgery you are whining about paying? In the Philippines if you cannot pay they let you die.
You sound like those Republicans here that say there are no poor people in the US because they have refrigerators.
