Should every person consider people with the same citizenship as “their people” and treat them better than others? Is it really uncivilized and inhumane to not follow that norm?
In every comment you made in the thread, you seem to have taken minor issues of phrasing and used them to wildly misinterpret comments in the least charitable way imaginable.
> Who are “your people”?
This seemed (to me at least, but it wasn't entirely clear) to be reading a comment to be race based when it obviously wasn't.

Really? This just completely misinterprets the comment it replied to.
> There are no logistics issues with residents and tourists.
This assumes that a system aiming to provide universal healthcare to the citizens of a nation will refuse to help non-citizens within the nation.

It seemed so to you because you tried to read something imaginary between the lines. It is ironic that it is exactly what you accuse me of.
> Really? This just completely misinterprets the comment it replied to.
I don't think it misinterprets anything. If you think it does, provide a better interpretation.

No, I didn't assume anything. OP said "Keeping your people healthy should just be a given". Following basic language pragmatics, it means that keeping not your people healthy is not a given. I asked who are "your people" and was given an answer that it means citizens.
Then perhaps that's the problem - as per the guidelines "assume good faith".

Quite frankly, that's rubbish; here you are taking the least charitable interpretation of the parent comment.
Most people would have interpreted that as excluding those outside of a country's borders - its region of direct control.
You misinterpreted my comment, where I said "citizens" in much the same way.

My previous comment hits the nail on the head, and you've done the same damned thing with your latest response.
