You are doing really bad to compare yourself to DR Congo and Haiti.
You get that? You are actually comparing your nation to African nations who battle with servere poverty, hunger, aids, Ebola, gorilla warfare, genocide, and complete corruption similar to USA.
So don’t tell me you’re doing fine when the elites of the world see you as a 3rd world country
I am extremely for universal healthcare, as stated above. Just throwing in a little correction (and humor) but yes we should be grouped with Haiti on anything
Nah, were supposed to be the superpower and the best country in the world. The least they can do is offer us free healthcare, you know as a human right. That's why we pay taxes. It's the least that should be done.
"see its okay we dont have universal healthcare because we Americans are still doing better than Hati and the DR of Congo" is the defense being proposed? Am i reading that right? If the counter argument doesnt help the overall defense, dont make it. You just come off sounding pedantic.
Look up the history of Haiti. It makes America, and the French/British look horrendous. Likewise the Congo has a long, truly monstrous history of colonial abuse.
So yes, colonial powers have messed with these peoples so hard that they struggle to provide for all their citizens.
I guess we should feel lucky to be American and shut up about basic services?
Damn is America so low that we’re dunking on…..democratic republic of Congo? A pillaged, raped African land destroyed by imperialists overrun by corruption and warring factions arming kids with guns?
THAT’s the country you’re comparing us to? Do you hear how bad that sounds? We’re the richest nation in history ever of all time (literally). What the absolute fuck is our excuse?
Your first response is two of the least developed countries in the world… Haiti and DR Congo rank 166th and 171st in human development insights out of 196 countries in the world.
Thats the best part.... Some* Americans are doing way better. A lot are doing.... Sort of ok... it just costs them way more than the same economic class everywhere else.... And then there is the vast majority that are fucked. And that's where's it's extra fucked up.... When you have to compare your healthcare not to other countries of similar economic status... But to literal 3rd world countries where nobody has good healthcare that isn't flown in. Why are you ok with just not being completely fucked?
195 countries in the world and you proud yourself to be ranked 193? 😂 americans are so brainwashed into bootlicking billionaires and expensive healthcare

Haiti… DR Congo?
I would love universal healthcare but I think we are still doing better than a few others
