Isn't it nice to have the luxury of living when we have the choice of whether or not to take an infant with a fever to the hospital? Our parents/grandparents didn't have that luxury, they had to ride the fever out and hope their family member lived. Options like that are why our society is so expensive to live in today.
How old are you? My grandparents (nevermind my parents) could rely on hospitals, and they lived in rural Kansas on lower middle class incomes.
My Depression-era great grandparents had to make that choice (and worse), but implying we should be so lucky that we as a society are regressing 80 years is not such a good thing.
