I acknowledge your point in rational terms. However, this discussion should not be framed in rational terms as our self-preservation imperative is not rational. It is often more economical to die, however good luck convincing anyone to act on this.

To frame it in computing terms, before we can start talking about operating system we need to establish working bootloader. The same way society operates, until you satisfy basic needs there couldn't be any talk about building just and egalitarian society. Forget that, there couldn't even be any talk about rational decision making by any individual.

Also note I didn't say unlimited healthcare, rather I framed it in terms of access.
