The Rich are Different

I have heard, as I am sure many have, complaints made about health care that the rich get better health care and treatment than the rest of us. Evidently, many people resent the idea that the health care they receive, or would receive under a national health care plan, would be inferior to the health care available to the rich (and members of Congress I might add). I do not understand why this is an issue. Everything the rich have is better than what we have. They live in bigger houses in nicer neighborhoods. They drive nicer cars and take better vacations. Their husbands and wives are better looking than ours. The reason for this is that they are rich. If the rich can't have better things, including better health care, what is the point of being rich?
