Being the global police and having good healthcare are orthogonal to each other. One doesn't really effect the other all that much. I don't really get why are saying they do? I do think US attitudes lead to both things (world police/broken health care system).

It shouldn't take much of an effort as a thought experiment to glimpse how having a global authority calling the shots and not keeping it's own affairs in order comes across as hypocritical and undermines that authority. Rather, I think what you've done here is mimic the common HN pattern of saying "X is orthogonal to Y, so I don't get what you're saying", which, as I've try to point out above, lacks imagination. I even went to some length to try to explain why I feel like that.
