I live in a relatively poor nation (Wales) which is part of a richer country (the UK,) - in Wales we have FREE universal healthcare (as does the whole of the UK,) and FREE prescription medication, as well as FREE parking in hospital car parks (these are specific Welsh government measures.) If my little, post-industrial and highly-exploited, nation of about 3 million people can do it, then there are no excuses for countries as large and prosperous as the US.
