It would have been a fair quesiton whether asked on main street in the US or from someone from Canada who has what is close to socialized medicine.
It is not a "trick" quesiton. It is one asking if they feel their taxes are in proportion to the medical treatment they receive.
I agree with the person who made the comment regarding the treatment in the UK which again has close to socialized medicine. I read the UK newspaper everyday and have some very basic idea of the problems they face.
I don't submit that I have the answers but it is interesting to ask questions to try to get to an answer. No one should ever be reluctant to ask a question.
