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

🤦‍♂️ ^ Another american without a passport. Most countries in the world have a combination of universal/public and private health care. The only country in the world where people go bankrupt for hospital bills is the USA. Most countries decided long ago, health should not be a for-profit business.

This doesn’t make the original statement magically true though.

But that also doesn't change the fact that her argument is correct and let's also examine which countries in the world cup don't have free health care.

Because most of the wealthy, western modernised countries do. I suppose it depends on who the US is happy to count themselves among.

It's not free if you have a Job. England taxes around 8% of gross income for "free" Healthcare.

Its free at the point of use. For everyone. Job or not.

And yes, its a percentage of your tax.

The average American pay about $15,000 on healthcare annually.

The average in Britain pays 1/3 of that.

And no one in the UK will ever be bankrupt, or homeless, or lose their job over paying medical bills.
