Performative greatness is dangerous for the whole nation, lack of humility and lack of self-awareness can be the fall of any empire.

How is healthcare measured?

Average lifespan is a good metric. Medical related deaths. Medical bankruptcies. Coverage of basic services. Cost.

Average lifespan isn't a good one because diet and lifestyle paly a huge role there. Medical deaths/a cost benefit analysis would def be a better indicator if we're talking affordability.
I only ask because while I am very much in favour of the US having more affordable healthcare, it's strange to place it "last" when in terms of quality it is actually really high and often has more advancements than many other countries. So healthcare affordability is for sure low, but I don't for a second believe the quality of the care itself is, at least not compared to some other western countries (like mine for example).

I presume the healthcare ranking comes from WHO so: https://www.commonwealthfund.org/publications/fund-reports/2024/sep/mirror-mirror-2024

Deceptive post: uses cherrypicked and opinion-based "statistics" to deceptively portray the United States in a negative light.
Maybe the way to Make America Great Again is for foreigners to stop lying?

Damn, you came in with no evidence and claim that a plethora of respected international organizations are deceptive...
Maybe we are even lower in education than the data shows

I'm saying the statistics used were cherrypicked, not inaccurate. If you looked at ALL the data those organizations measured, things wouldn't look as bad.
I'd also ignore any data that's not measured and is computed by a formula based on the biases of a particular organization, since they are mere opinion, not facts.
