Sad and outrageous

One of last week's "60 Minutes" segment almost brought me to tears. Something is not right when the wealthiest country in the world cannot take care some of its citizen's basic needs. Is it really worth having highly specialized high tech super expensive medical care a la John Hopkins at the cost of not being able to provide reading glasses and routine checkups for millions of people? I don't think so. Even in my native second world country things are not this bad.
