"World class" health and education brings you some of the worst maternal mortality rates in the developed world[1]. Doubling Canada's rate and adding a bit more really screams world class.
You do pay out the ass for it though so good job making someone rich I guess? Shame about all the dead babies though[2].

Just to be clear, I was referring to the Nordic countries, Australia, better performing OECD countries, etc and not referring to the US. Your links bear out my position, that US "free market | low taxes" approach doesn't deliver good outcomes for the masses.
- Jochim 4y agoIndeed! Forgive me, I misinterpreted your earlier post to be claiming that the "low cost" of US healthcare offsets the "high taxes" of comparable countries.
