Healthcare does exist, it's of a much higher quality and people have to pay for it.

Eek not the US. I'm in Healthcare and yeah we do a pretty good job. There's a huge variability between and within states and cities. However compared to the rest of the world, we are nowhere near the top (#37 to be precise) for a variety of reasons. Healthcare spending and infant mortality are two things we suck at very much.

France is the top country for Healthcare and they do have universal health insurance which is one of the many reasons why they are so successful.

And to add to your statement, nahhhhhh people aren't great at paying medical bills. It's one of the largest debts in America, and many times influences rising credit card debt. In a country where almost 60% of people have less than $1000 in their savings, a medical bill is the last thing to be paid. Even with insurance, it can be hard to pay bills when you have a $2500 deductible to foot first.

Tldr: this dude is wrong.

That ranking factors widespread availability greatly over quality. It's also much harder to rank high as a large populace, other than Japan we are the highest ranking of any country with over 100 million people. I also didn't mean to say the US healthcare is the best, I was more so comparing it to the socialized Canadian healthcare system.

Edit: But based off of your other posts, you're just some far left idiot that thinks conservative policies are racist and worships socialist europe

I mean free healthcare, you know, like in a lot of other countries. It's the most important thing in a country. You don't need to think twice to go have an urgent surgery or to do anything that is important for you feeling well and healthy.

Btw France healthcare is good but the country is not very successful lol. What do you mean ?

I'm not going to get into the details. That's another topic for another thread, but overall, France has been rated the #1 healthcare system in the world for many reasons. If someone disagrees with that ranking as complete bs only based on access to care, they really don't know what they're talking about. Sure there's things they do good and bad, but overall, they are a good model.

And the US sucks at a lot of things in healthcare. I listed infant mortality as a prime example. We are ranked #56 in that aspect.... right up there with Bosnia and Serbia. Nice. Healthcare spending is #1 (I'm not complaining because it pays my salary, but it is a huge problem).

President isn’t doing anything? Probably because we have a system of checks and balances to prevent him from reaching absolute tyranny. Let’s just imagine what he would do if he could, and now let’s imagine what his supporters would follow him through if they could. Trump has a dangerous and disgusting cult following, and anyone who sticks up for these people is just as bad. Ten times more hateful? Expand your ground, do some research, I have no business standing up for borderline retarded people who believe in a shitty campaign oriented around the wall of hate and tagging Muslims.

Every one of your posts sounds like it was copy and pasted from the comment section of a TYT video. If you haven't realized, CNN and MSNBC (where you definitely get your news) have pretty much stooped down to the level of fox news over the last 5 years. There is more of a cult following of people like you who hate trump. Unlike his base, you will hate him no matter what he does. Just last week he pissed off a good half of his base by proposing amnesty for the dreamers in exchange for wall funding and immigration reform. He pisses of his base constantly if you don't pay attention, the reason most people still side with him is because he was still better choice than the alternative. Also what is "tagging Muslims", I recall a travel ban that is imposed on 6 Muslim countries that were labelled as hotbeds for terrorism by the Obama administration. Maybe instead of thinking that half of the country are just racist idiots you should try looking at it from their point of view.

Idk about you, but he is definitely towards the top of our worries. He can't seem to shut his mouth and stop acting like a child. He disrespects our allies, especially Britain who is one of our oldest allies. He trash talks NATO regularly. He quarrels with North Korea to the point of war rhetoric. His cabinet doesn't believe in climate change and has removed certain rules which aim to slow it down. He has alienated the whole Muslim and Hispanic world. Dont get me started on his rediculous tax plan. That's just a couple things to name a few. The president of the United States has a huge responsibility and much sway within the world. Things they say really do have an impact, so when people brush off the crazy shit he says about the rest of the world as just Donald being Donald, they really don't realize the impact it is having on other countries. He is singlehandedly alienating the United States from the rest of the world.

And to the guy saying it's some small cult of people who disagree with him, they must live in a Hotspot of Trump voters. I know very few people who actually like him. And how often do this many countries protest this much about a president visiting? Come on. One person is my friend who only voted for Trump because quote "Hillary is going to take away my guns" and the other person is my aunt who is a die hard republican til she dies.

North Korea is now talking with South Korea...

By alienating the Muslim world do you mean practically eliminating Isis? (20,000 members to less than 1,000)

What is ridiculous about his tax plan? over 80% of Americans are paying less (the 20% are high income people in high tax states like California) and day after day business are returning to the US, announcing bonuses, increasing employment and raising pay.

I do agree that he's pissing off some of our allies, and he needs to stay the fuck off twitter, but I get tired of hearing people call him Hitler constantly while he's just a dumb ass.

I live in Seattle, I was only stating that he has a dedicated following of people that hate him, not that it's a small following.

1) Politics are so confusing and messed up here that it doesn’t even matter if you know what’s going on or do because it doesn’t make a difference (hence, you don’t have to care about politics).

2) The drinking age is 18 (well 14 I guess if you have a tracksuit and some hair on your face) + vodka is bombproof if ya need to get hammered FAST.

3)The girls... nuff said, amazing and beautiful.

4)The freestyle community is on a rise here over the past couple years so it might be a easier way to make a name for yourself.

What good are you talking about lol? People downvoted it because it's totally wrong. It's been proven and widely accepted that his tax plan is totally fucked, and his banning of Muslim travel didn't do much if anything to stop terrorism in the US (even the former CIA director said it was stupid).

The only good thing he's done is do a great job at snuffing out all these antipolice protests and has done a great job of hushing any hints of gun reform (not sarcasm). I like how he doesn't give a fuck about politics, but sometimes he needs to care just a bit because it's getting us in trouble.

Even though I'm not a trump supporter (wasn't a Hillary supposed either), I still think that people should give him a chance. Yeah some of the shit he says is utterly ridiculous (entertaining at times though lol) but he has made an business empire throughout his career meaning he does know a great deal about things that former presidents may not have (with all do respect to them). Not to mention that our economy has been the best its ever been in a long time. It's grown at a crazy 3.2% in the third quarter 2017. I just hope that Oprah doesn't run next lol People are saying that trump is "too active on social media" and next, they want a reality TV show superstar to run for presidency lmfao. Would be interesting to see Trump and Oprah go at it in the debates haha If this trend of electing non qualified people as president continues, Im getting ready for the reign of Supreme Leader Bieber in 2024

Lol oh yeah. The factory jobs that pay essentially minimum wage which will only raise the cost of goods here. And don't forget about coal. Lol you can have those dude. Once we kick all the illegals out too, you wait and tell me vegetable prices aren't rediculous because there will be no illegals to pay shit wages to, which in turn will raise the cost of those as well.

And yeah trump is successful, but he's also had his companies go bankrupt four separate times. Not to mention all the lawsuits from people he's scammed and not paid for services. Honestly idk how he hasn't been in trouble for fraud yet.

I was open minded and gave him a chance, but he is proving me wrong at every occasion.

I don’t even know where to begin... first of all, I don’t think you understand what a cult is. It’s not a cult of Trump haters when 60% of the country doesn’t like him. Also, if you had paid attention to his campaign, you would know that one of his earliest campaign proposals was to label all Muslims in the U.S. with tags to identify them as such. And as for the travel ban, it was 7 countries, not 6, and none of the recent terrorist attacks in the U.S. have been committed by people from those countries. I know everyone gets tired of the Trump and Hitler comparison, but it’s just too scary and relevent. Let’s not forget that Hitler did some good things too, a great example is the company Volkswagen. But just because he’s done some good, doesn’t make the bad acceptable. The same rule applies to Trump, done some good, but mostly bad. I really don’t have any idea how anyone can support this guy though...

Definition of cult: a system of religious veneration and devotion directed toward a particular figure or object.

Doesn't have to be a small following for a cult. By your definition it's also not a cult for the 30% of Americans that love him

and the travel ban is now 8 countries 6 of which are Muslim (Chad, Iran, Libya, North Korea, Syria, Venezuela, Somalia and Yemen.)

It also wasn't a campaign proposal to tag Muslim, he was questioned about a Muslim registry by reporters and said it was a good idea, but before being elected he lied about having never said so.

If you haven't seen, pretty much every other day since the tax cut a new company announces hundreds of millions to billions in increased wages and bonuses. Apple is returning, paying a one time tax fee of over $30 billion. Coal also hasn't really grown at all under Trump contrary to what he says. And by no more illegals do you mean his offer to grant millions of illegal immigrants citizenship in exchange for immigration reform and partial border wall funding? Obviously not open minded

Quoting this because I think it is the epitome of the United States.

The US has plenty of flaws and sure we lack significantly in certain areas such as Healthcare, education, life expectancy, obesity, Trump supporters, prisons, drugs, better than you attitudes, the list goes on and on.

But here are some things we are good at:

-We still have the #1 GDP worldwide

-We are undoubtedly the most influential country in the world

-Our national park acerage is second to none and may I point out, are homes to many ski resorts that y'all call home

-Our patriotism is insanely strong even if some people wouldn't like to admit it

-We are the most diverse country in the world even if people are trying to stop it... Ahem.... Trump...

-We KICK ASS in the Olympics. Like fuck everyone in the ass hard win everything because we are so good. Yeah get on our level. Don't even try to argue.

-We have an immense diversity in sports, unlike other countries that just lay claim to maybe soccer and rugby and cricket. Or baseball and soccer. We have it all dudes.

-Our country has an immense diversity of landscapes and vastly different ecosystems that range from Arctic to Tropical to Deserts. Not many countries can say the same.

-We can have guns. This may be a positive or negative opinion to some.

-Music, TV and movies. Come on and be real. Its better here. You're welcome for Hollywood and you're welcome for Netflix.

-Porn. Need I say more? It's better.

-Freedom. Did it first. There's a reason people fled from Europe hundreds of years ago to come here. Anyone who says our liberties are restricted is just simple minded or is mad they can't do something illegal and won't get caught. Sure you can't do or say some things, but in general, we are pretty very free.

Well, as I live in one of those countries, I would for sure say I am not missing anything (personally). Spending time in Denmark, Sweden, Germany, and Italy I can say that those countries, while flawed and imperfect, are truly awesome places to live. Just like the USA. Each country will have its pro/con hit list, and when you see how nicer their standard of living, education, and general happiness is, you can't say their doing something totally wrong.

But when you look at why the USA ranks as "low" as it does (60th in safety & security, 34th in Environment, 30th in Health (that's overall health remember, not just healthcare), and 28th in personal freedom) if those aspects were improved, the USA would sky rocket into the top 10, easily.

I can't believe people complain about private health care. In Canada you're forced to pay for universal health care but as soon as you actually need medical treatment you have to go down to the States and pay for it there anyway. It's horrendous here

As appalling as much of what Trump has said about/how he has treated others, equally as appalling is much of the left's response to him and his followers. It is obvious why party polarization has become such an issue. Gov officials/constituents alike need to engage one another in meaningful discourse. Calling Trump supporters red-necks and calling Trump opposers snowflake libs or whatever accomplishes... what?

I obviously don't have enough Canadian friends to have heard this before. Elaborate?

The wait list times for say, a knee surgery, are like 4 years long. And the quality of treatment is also much higher in the States.

Even for minor things here the care is hopeless. A couple years back I sustained a pretty serious eye injury at work and had to get driven to I think 4 or 5 different hospitals before we found one where I could be seen within 3 hours. Too many people go in to the doctor because they have a minor cough or sore throat. This was within the major metropolitan area of Vancouver. Almost ended up driving down to Bellingham that day for my eye. It's an embarrassment to the First World.

Wow, this makes complete sense logistically now that I think about it. Just waiting a couple of weeks for my knee surgery was shitty.
 
I have traveled the world and can confirm America is the best. The only problem is that there is a growing leftist/marxist movement perpetuated by feminists, liberals, and fags that is going to eventually degrade this place so its no better than third world shitholes
