If every other developed nation was able to provide unicorns and lollipops to its citizens regardless of their ability to pay, and the United States couldn't I would also be asking for Universal unicorns and lollipops.
Except that the majority of the unicorns are sick, and the majority of the lollipops have been licked by someone else. And when people point out that while we don't have them on every corner for free, at least what we do have isn't like that, they're ignored or called heartless.
