Everyone on Earth who wants healthcare and education have it because they all have enough money to pay for both and still live well and buy the things they want. Whatever issues you have with us now may be resolved after we secure Earth's independence from Sopholand. Till then I ask you to help us defeat our common enemy, the Sophian Empire.
I now wonder if there will ever be a society where that is absolutely true. The reason I wonder this is because whenever medical technology or education advances there will always be people who want the next greatest thing. This in turn negatively impacts the affordability of both systems because the guy who needs the cure for the rare space parasite won't say no, nor will students who want a Harvard+ education although that latter group would be more amenable to that than the first.
