America’s health care system, by far the greatest in the world, was built on a foundation of charity.  People and religious organizations giving time, money and expertise to care for individuals who could never afford to pay all the costs.  Education, too, was developed in this country largely through charity.  In recent years, both health care and education have lost their charitable identities, and the results are not encouraging.  Both are weakening.
