This is practically the only description of America that you need, and it's only become more apparent to me now that I've left. America is obsessed with extremes.
You could add health care to schools as an example. America is the last place in the world I'd want to be if I broke my arm (especially if I happened to be uninsured at the time), but probably the first place I'd go if I was diagnosed with some obscure cancer.
