Ignitionnet,

At your age there is probably little you care about other than things that affect you directly.

A relative of mine thought the NHS was an expensive waste of money whilst he enjoyed the trappings of a series of managing directorships.

After retirement and with the trappings of BUPA lost and seriously draconian charges for cover which even he as a millionaire twice over couldn't afford, he now has had a road to Damascus revelation and thinks the NHS is wonderful.

If your views are generated by your current circumstances it is as well to have a plan B because hero to zero is not a phenomenon purely located in the USA. Everything in life is taken for granted until it is suddenly gone and for many health can vanish quickly. I have seen far too many high flyers or purportedly high flyers crash and burn to give much longevity to their views. If you had a few million in the bank your views would be warranted but to base views on pay check to pay check is delusion especially without tangible assets.
