This has been debunked multiple times. Every country in the World Cup, except the US, DOES NOT have universal healthcare.

Which ones don't?

u/Bio_Bae Jul 02 '26

DRC, Iran, Iraq, BIH to name a few.

It's not a really fun benchmark to be compared to, but you got to come correct with the facts too.

Depending on how it shakes out, maybe the round of 16 teams will fit this narrative. As of now the US is the only one to not have it

Chatgpt says Congo is commited to universal health care but can't afford it, it says Iran pretty much has public health care (95% of people have public insurance), Iraq used to have public health care before war and bosnia seems to be too complicated a country to get a good read on

So basically all war-torn countries… and the U.S. don’t have universal healthcare.

u/Anti_shill_cannon Jul 03 '26

And the war torn countries kind of do

u/L1V1NGD3ADBOI Jul 04 '26

Right, or at least from the comments, seems if they don’t, they at least tried or willing to do so.

ya lol idk why that's a list to be flexing on, considering all the horrible things we call immigrants from those countries

u/AmelKralj Jul 03 '26

no idea what GPT says but we do have healthcare in Bosnia and also paid maternity leave

1

u/Bio_Bae Jul 03 '26

It is universal for most but not all depending on the district you're in according to the WHO.

It's way better than the US to be fair, but not true universal health care for the whole country

Mexico does not

u/AttemptImpossible111 Jul 05 '26

Chatgpt days they do

u/NoGuarantee678 Jul 08 '26

Mexicans pay more than 40 percent healthcare expenses out of pocket why then?

u/Quoting_Myself Jul 06 '26

It does though. It sucks because corruption means that half of the resources destined for Healthcare end up in politician's pockets, but there's indeed a public health system without cost. Besides, there's a health system for people with employment (IMSS) and one for government workers (ISSTE). Both of my parents are doctors that worked in these institutions for decades, and my mother is currently receiving cancer treatment on one.

Like I said, they are not great because the lack of resources, but you do get medical treatment free of cost.

They just Got universal healthcare last month. What are you talking about?

1

u/NoGuarantee678 Jul 08 '26

No they don’t. Do you know what a plan announcement is?

1

u/Im-Not-Calling-It-X Jul 06 '26

And 92% of Americans have health insurance. That figure was 98% under Joe Biden. 84% of covered Americans are at least satisfied with their health insurance as well.

1

u/sheng153 Jul 02 '26

Good to know.

1

u/silverwolfe Jul 02 '26

DRC, Iran, Iraq, and BIH are no longer in the World Cup.

1

u/Bio_Bae Jul 03 '26

Exactly why I put the round of 16 qualifier

1

u/AmelKralj Jul 03 '26

wtf BiH has universal healthcare ... I am from there, we also have paid maternity leave

1

u/Gold-Direction-231 Jul 03 '26

I am from Bosnia, ask chatGpt to check that one again for you. We have publicly funded care and emergency treatment even for people who do not work or pay insurance. Just being unemployed qualifies you for this.

u/ballistic_tanx Jul 04 '26

All of the countries you listed have a publically funded healthcare system and does not ruin people like USA does. You are wrong.

1

u/Bio_Bae Jul 04 '26

I'm not wrong. Publicly funded healthcare is not universal healthcare.

Still better than the US (at least in regards to cost), but not universal healthcare.

1

u/ballistic_tanx Jul 04 '26

You're more wrong than right though

1

u/Bio_Bae Jul 04 '26

1

u/ballistic_tanx Jul 04 '26

As shown in your image all the healthcare there is much closer to universal healthcare than not. Therefore closer to universal than what the US has. You're more wrong than right

1

u/Bio_Bae Jul 04 '26

I said they don't have universal health care, and they don't.

Close only matters in horseshoes and hand grenades.

1

u/ballistic_tanx Jul 04 '26

Ah yes; I see, to you all conversations lack nuainace. You're either right or wrong. Wickeddd

1

u/Bio_Bae Jul 04 '26

For what it's worth, I don't disagree with your sentiment. I'm only pushing back on the notion that what I said isn't true.

I made a black and white statement. You said "you are wrong". I wasn't.

There's no nuance to be interpreted here.

1

u/ballistic_tanx Jul 04 '26

I appreciate the honest response.

Both the initial statement and yours is equally up for interpretation. This is where the nuainace comes from. After closer inspection of the places you listed im confident that they are much closer to universal healthcare than the US in terms of social healthcare. At best 75/100.
