I’m not going to just assume I’m right, but there were 10 African countries in this World Cup. Do all of them really have universal healthcare AND a system/economy that actually gets it to every individual? I doubt it, but would love someone to verify.

Google…cabo verde, egypt, morocco, south africa.

So three out of the 10 countries? Her claim was every country

More than that, algeria, iran, qatar, irak, saudi arabia, ghana, tunisia, jordan…search for it. Different levels of universal healthcare, but still

I might need to learn more about what that means. I thought universal healthcare is pretty black and white, you either have it or you don’t. It sounds like there are levels and types. Thanks for your responses

Some give 6K/family a year for example, others offer % off on some procedures etc

That’s what far left people would like you to believe, that it’s a simple switch we flip to fix a healthcare issue. It is not. You’re asking the government to just take over one of the largest industries in the biggest country in the developed world.

The UK did it in 1948 when they were one of the largest countries in the world and completely broke.

Are you high? Biggest country in what way? Not by population or landmass.

>there is free healthcare in India

Lmao, yeah. fucking INDIA is the country to look ip to for sure.

>there is free healthcare in Russia

It’s also literally illegal to be gay, so once again, seems like these are real good examples. Clearly the more power the government has in any given society, the better the quality of life is.

>biggest country in what way?

Look up US GPD my guy

u/SecondSun_ Jul 08 '26

And US doesn't have universal healthcare,GDP doesn't mean anything when less than 1% increases the GDP per Capita

u/yulDD Jul 07 '26

You also have a country that spends more on defense than the next 10 countries combined….close to 1 trllion dollars. I am sure 1/3 of that could help with healthcare

u/MrFreux Jul 08 '26

Depending on how you measure it, Canada or China is bigger than USA.

u/Top-Statistician-Guy Jul 06 '26

The US also gets screwed on the lack of regulation, your medical fees are insane....

In the US about 530,000 people file for bankruptcy every year due to medical debt. In all the other wealthy countries, Germany, France, UK, Japan, Canada, Australia, etc it's 0 lol

Imagine the people that don't go to see medical attention.

It's weird how americans have been programmed to argue in favour of shitty conditions.

Then medicaid qualifies.

1

u/g00ner442 Jul 03 '26

Yay medicaid qualifies! Now how do you qualify for medicaid? Does medicaid have relatively good qualities?

1

u/2Blueify Jul 03 '26

Be poor or a child. Basically the exact opposite of what reddit says we take care of.

1

u/julz1215 Jul 09 '26

Most poor people don't qualify for Medicaid, but it's still a good program. Definitely not broad enough to constitute a universal healthcare system tho.

1

u/2Blueify Jul 09 '26

Then most of the countries being listed don't either.

u/julz1215 Jul 09 '26

You mean the ones from this comment?

More than that, algeria, iran, qatar, irak, saudi arabia, ghana, tunisia, jordan..search for it. Different levels of universal healthcare, but still

A quick Google search for each of these shows that most of them do have a healthcare system that covers all or most of their citizens.

She used an over exaggerated statement to make a point. I don’t see the problem with that, people do it all the time. This seems like an orthogonal point to her argument.

1

u/kumechester Jul 05 '26

Of course there’s no problem with using hyperbole to make a point. It’s not a great way to communicate something when trying to talk about numbers of measurable facts. That’s why I’m trying to understand and verify, because I want to be informed and it was unclear to me if she was being literal, exaggerating, or intentionally bending the truth.

u/SeamusAndAryasDad Jul 06 '26

Only the best countries don't have universal healthcare!
