Though I agree our current health system is embarrassing, we could reverse your question, and ask why living artists residing in the States should see part of all of their income sacrificed to appease the wants of say, you?
I just don’t understand why some folks feel that artists are not entitled to continue to profit from their works at least until they die, or for a period of time thereafter (the thereafter meaning their estate of course).
There’s an irony here, in that some of those who claim artists should have limited ownership of their own works, are the same folks who are fighting to claim ownership of those works as well. How and why are you (not you necessarily) more or equally entitled to ownership as the materials creator?
