I think you are underestimating the number of Americans who make less than what Europeans make.

In both systems, the upper X% can afford it. But it makes no sense to focus on that. What matters is how many don’t have access.

That number is much larger percentage-wise here than in Europe. And it will only increase the way things are going.

Probably true. But if you think about who votes, professionals and home owners have much higher participation rates. I am not saying this is good.
