The list of countries without "universal government-funded health system" is smaller than the list of countries with it. US (together with Uganda, Yemen, Jordan and some other countries) is pretty lonely with its healthcare system.
In general, the West does not work like the US when it comes to healthcare. And when you compare globally, the US still has the highest "Health Expenditure per capita", far higher than any other country really.
There is no way to spin it, healthcare is absolutely terrible in the US and gets worse every year.
- sneak 6y agoI wasn't trying to spin the healthcare situation, just to point out that "fuck you, got mine" isn't really unique to the USA, but is echoed in the entirety of the global west. One just needs look at the vaccine distribution situation to see this writ large.
