That's still income-in-kind, not wealth, in the case of health care and Canada. It's also still speculation, not data.
$3 meals is purchasing power, not wealth or income.
And neither makes the world's poor well-off.
Except perhaps isolated indigenous tribes enjoying prosperous living off the land.
It doesn't change the key points here except in nit-picky semantic ways.
Wealth is savings, land, securities, assets. Things most people globally lack, and few people in the US or Canada have in abundance beyond a home and some savings -- the average US citizen has $50,000 saved for retirement. And a car.
