Living with Recalibrated Feudalism

Today, we are in a new era, yet there are certain services, commodities, activities and enlightenments which are only available to those with higher earning potential or those with amnesty in their wealth.
In truth, this is a system of recalibrated feudalism.
The fact is that today, there are limitations on what you may have afforded to you in a very modern age society.
Today we live in a system of advances in sciences and medicine, yet to many, these are not available or available only at a hard pressed cost.
Take Dental Health.
There is no medicare coverage for dental examinations.  Even eye examinations are markedly limited.  Fortunately for most of us, we only need a new pair of glasses every 2 years.
In truth and reality, dental health care is cost absorbitant and leaves most patients who do not have dental coverage and even many with dental coverage in a destitute situation where by the costs of say a root canal or a cap or even a few fillings is lifestyle limiting. 
And of course, the cost for 2 tooth cleanings a year can be over 200$ with x rays as well.
In reality, this is a situation which does not phase any person making over say $60,000 a year, but in truth there are many who are in a lower income bracket.
In another aspect, the costs of home media experiences are rising, yet the mainstay is that any human being almost universally requires at the least some news media as well as the internet for many of his business transactions today.
In effect, we do still live under a recalibrated feudalism, until the time that these services are vastly discounted or otherwise a universal offering for all citizens. 
Society advances and so too must the availability for human interest and human need.
