Usage notes

[edit]

Colloquially, "problem" in sense 1 can be put after an objective personal pronoun to create a noun phrase meaning "that person's/those people's problem."

1994, Joel S. Weissman, Arnold M. Epstein,Falling Through the Safety Net: Insurance Status and Access to Health Care, page30:
Until Middle America understands lack of insurance and underinsurance asan "us" problem rather thana "them" problem, the motivation for change will be diminished.
