Aren't we lucky?

As Americans, we like to complain a lot. I don't say this as an insult, but rather as a statement that I am sometimes guilty of. New York Times recently published an article, and you can read it here, North Korea is in dire need of  medicine and aid according to the humanitarian association Amnesty International. This piece of news comes as a surprise as the World Health Organization (WHO) has claimed North Korea to be the envy when it comes to health care standards. But besides that point, we as Americans should be ashamed of ourselves for being critical of our health care system. I am not a fan of the recent health care bill and I am for the privatization of our medical system, but I am appalled that Americans would consider their health care system to be broken enough for repair. It disgusts me how unappreciative America is of her blessings. To have a world class health care system, probably the best in the world if nothing else, and still people complain endlessly of the high costs of medicine and health care, Even North Korea, a nation supposed to be rivaling the United States in terms of modernization, has inadequate medical standards. Americans need to reevaluate their perspective of the blessings that have been endowed upon them. If Americans fail to do so, they will only transform their prosperity into ruin.
