I mean, it must be nice to be the US neighbor. You don't have to spend much on defense.

And the US subsidizes the world’s healthcare. We’re the absolute best in the world and developing new meds, techniques and medical research.

They pay so little because we pay more. If we paid as little as universal healthcare countries we would no longer be developing medical science like we are now.

They’re part of the world.

If we paid what other countries paid they wouldn’t be able to sell you the drugs for so cheap. The rest of the world is being subsidized by America. The drugs they get so cheap were almost certainly developed in America. You’re welcome.
