America has this attitude in general, and it drives me insane. "Our problems are different so we can't use the proven (healthcare|internet|public-transportation|drug-abuse|poverty|etc) solutions that other countries use!" Sure, some things are different, and it's important to understand why solutions work in one country, and how they may not work in others. But the US has a large problem with thinking that our problems are unique when they aren't.
