That is where we differ the most. It is already happening. It won't be a sudden binary change in the future, it will continue to be a gradual deterioration and it is happening right now in our lifetimes. It will also affect people I care about, long after I am gone. Waiting for a 'tipping point' is missing the point completely.
Governmental changes take decades to filter out, revise and enhance policy. Even if we all agreed on the specifics of a better health care system it would still be 10+ years before we got it right in practice. Sorting out Immigration reform isn't going to take a few weeks or months. That doesn't mean we shouldn't do it, it means if we want it done we had best get the development cycle started on the things that will impact everyone.
