The rest of the industrialized world all has universal health care but not the good, old, proud, stupid Americans, oh no. We not only have the only health care system completely tied to profit and profits but we have, by far and away THE MOST EXPENSIVE HEALTH CARE SYSTEM IN THE ENTIRE WORLD.
Yes sir and ma'am. Far and away the most expensive.
U.S. Healthcare:
Most Expensive and Worst Performing
And complicated?
Heck we have a system mostly for the elderly that's so difficult, companies and organizations actually have to create systems and places and events for people to LEARN how the whole system functions.
Additionally, finally, at least here, today, the US is the only nation, also, the ONLY nation, in the world, where citizens go bankrupt, broke, from and because of medical bills.

Additionally, it is the NUMBER ONE CAUSE of bankruptcy--medical bills---at roughly 40% of all bankruptcies in the nation, consistently, year after year.
Insane.
We Americans. We're "exceptional" all right.
Exceptionally stupid. Exceptionally proud. Exceptionally gullible.
Yay, Capitalism, huh?
Ain't we great?
