You should work for obama since you seem to want to decide what people are allowed to have.
If the tax payers are footing the bill they have every right to decide what amenities people should have, above and beyond basic care and necessities. As for me, I’d be happy (and amazed) if I could get a nurse to answer a damned buzzer in less that 30 minutes.
Its a mixed bag -- one of the driving ideas behind the US was that through hard work you can achieve a high standard of living. And if you've sweat and bled for everything you have, you appreciate it.
But its a historical fact that when a people cease to be hungry, cease to strive, they lose what made them great. America is no different, and the fact that luxury is assumed and expected without any effort most assuredly contributes to our fall.
