You struggle to see how a society which has a system where you put requests from other people ahead of your own healthcare is not equal to one where you take care of yourself?

Did you see the examples that those women started actually getting healthcare as soon as they had their own bank account?

The picture you paint is about respecting what people do with their surplus money. The picture the article paints is that in those societies you don't even take care of your basic needs and you never get to have surplus money. So debating which use of surplus money is better is besides the point.

Moral relativists can't be reasoned with, no matter how plainly the logic in front of them.
I'm fairly certain the bank would put mortgage interest payments above the healthcare of the individual even in my society.
