I don’t know why people think universal healthcare is the end all be all. There are also some really bad aspects to it, it isn’t all amazing. It also isn’t “free” in counties that have it, unless you’re unemployed.
I do think the US healthcare system does need to the majority checked though. Probably regulated pricing and such.
I can’t believe I’m reading this. Obviously universal healthcare is not without flaws, and there are many variations on the theme. Some work better than others.
But for a developed, “rich” country not to provide it to their citizens is a crime. Of course, the people most affected by the lack of healthcare are they working poor, while middle class people are generally insulated by employer-provided insurance, and the rich naturally have the best health care on the planet.
I think that this is another case of the majority of Americans not being able to conceive what life outside the greatest country in the worldTM is like. Ask anyone from another country if they would prefer us-style healthcare, and you will get a resounding “NO!”
American here, can confirm. Drank the “greatest country” kool aid as a kid, then started to travel in young adulthood.
I’m still struggling with the fact that I feel least “at home” and most isolated in the place I call home. Every single place I’ve ever been outside the US (7 countries and counting, 4 in the EU) has seemed more welcoming, interconnected, simple to get around, and vibrant. Let alone a more reasonable cost of living and a much better safety net.

Health care alone would be enough of a downgrade for Greenland never to want to be part of the US.
