That's the old bullshit American thinking invading your headspace. People aren't drains on the system. Systems are built to help people. Period, end of story. Probably the one thing you'll want to do is start training yourself to think less like an American. The very idea that an elderly person is a drain on a system would not even occur to many Europeans or other people around the world. It's not a uniquely American idea, but Americans have made particularly noxious use of it.

Start to remove the little American living in your head. It's worse, in some cases, than a tumor.
