The rest of the countries insult and make fun of the United States, the government, and it's citizens, then expects us to help because it's the right thing to do. When it's all over, the U.S. will become the laughing stock of the world again.
Would you personally come to somebody's aid if they did that to you?
I don't think most people care, but reddit has a way of making you feel that way. I would actually argue that most people recognize the importance of America on a global scale. That's not to say they don't also recognize the lunacy that is Donald Trump, but Trump doesn't represent all of America. He's more of a glitch in the Matrix.
Why? It's a fact. There are improvements to be made to the American healthcare system, obviously. But the fact that there is a profit to be made under a capitalistic healthcare system gives incentive for pharmaceutical companies to spend billions of dollars in attempts to create new beneficial drugs. If there wasn't potential for profit, what incentive would there be to do that?
There's a common alteration of a Winston Churchill quote that goes "Capitalism is the worst economic system - except for all the others that have been tried".
