There are differences of approach. For some people suffering is good for the soul and poor and sick people suffer because their soul needs a bit of a sprucing up.
For the sane people of the planet suffering is a pain to be avoided and a mature society recognises this.
The French generally speaking don't mind paying higher taxes than us because they get a level of social service that would just blow your tiny mind.It gives me the willies.
Here in the UK while we recognise that suffering isn't fate's way of weeding out the herd we tend to be afflicted by a class of people who want their presents and more pocket money. Essentially deranged spoilt children :
LOL. Lord save us from the best possible presents at affordable prices while pocketing large sums.
Could it be that THE TEST is to see how well we overcome the challenges of suffering?
Bottom line is, Everyone needs profit incentive and stiff competition in order to excell. Lefty democratic-totalitarians are about stamping this all out.
(Limey democratic-totalitarian pol with a million pounds to spend on "health care" and no tremendous external pressures or examples of wise spending) "Hmmmmm......I could devote this to cutting-edge research that probably won't pan out.....ooooooorrrrrrrr........I could give it all to a health care union boss in exchange for a percentage kick-back and support for my re-election campaign.........Hmmmmmmm, hmmmmmmm, hmmmmmm.......Which one of these?........." ;/ ;\ ;/
It's a good thing that nothing like this has happened yet even with US innovations, best practices and bearing the costs of developement.
