You are saying that it is unfair that 252 million people have something that you do not. Because of that, you would impose a change on the 252 million people that have it.
Maybe. Sixteen percent strikes me as a high failure rate for something that's fairly basic. As an absolute number, 48 million people is huge. If there was a world without public education and sixteen percent of the country (48 million people) was not getting a basic education, I would hope we would impose a change on everybody else or come up with a public option.
