Below are the 50 most developed countries in the world ranked according to the UN Human Development index which measures development and standard of living through estimates of GDP per capita, life expectancy, and education. There are a total of 197 countries in the world today. 193 of those countries are part of the United Nations. 45 out of the 50 most developed countries in the world below provide UNIVERSAL HEALTHCARE for its citizens, essentially medicare for all. The following are the five countries from the list below that do not:

01. Cyprus
02. United Arab Emirates
03. Qatar
04. Bahrain
05. United States

Cyprus is currently In the process of moving to a Universal Healthcare system which will be completed in a few years. That will leave the United States alone with three Arab countries as being the only countries, of the 50 most developed in the world, that do not have Universal HealthCare.

Why does the United States, the wealthiest country in the world and the 3rd wealthiest per captia country, still not provide Universal Healthcare for its citizens? How could anyone say that Universal HealthCare is impossible or too expensive for the United States when nearly all of the 50 most developed countries in the world provide it for its citizens?

“Why does the United States, the wealthiest country in the world and the 3rd wealthiest per captia country, still not provide Universal Healthcare for its citizens?”

Because conservatives have successfully propagated the lie that in addition to being ‘too expensive,’ providing all Americans access to affordable healthcare will ‘destroy capitalism’ and make America ‘socialist’ – when in fact nothing could be further from the truth.

“Why does the United States, the wealthiest country in the world and the 3rd wealthiest per captia country, still not provide Universal Healthcare for its citizens?”

Because conservatives have successfully propagated the lie that in addition to being ‘too expensive,’ providing all Americans access to affordable healthcare will ‘destroy capitalism’ and make America ‘socialist’ – when in fact nothing could be further from the truth.

Well, there is a lot of capitalism among those 50 most developed countries. I mean, most Billionaires in the world live in those 50 most developed countries. Most of the large private Business's, Large corporations, multi-national corporations in the world are located in those 50 most developed countries. I would also say that most business activity in the world and most profit is made in those 50 most developed countries. With the exception of five of them, all of them provide Universal Healthcare of their citizens. Rather than being unusual, Universal Healthcare is a common feature among wealthy, developed, capitalist, democratic countries.

There are only five oddballs that don't provide among the 50:

01. Cyprus - within 5 years Cyprus will have Universal Healthcare
02. Bahrain
03. United Arab Emirates
04. Qatar
05. United States

I think the United States has a lot to learn from the other 49 most developed countries in the world.

This is why we need to stop defending the world and re electing the same old tired entrenched lifetime politicians....this is why I do not understand why so many are against Trump...the first outsider that has won the presidency and is openly trying to stop us from being taken advantage of in the world in trade and immigration and openly states he wants us to bring our troops home....not for him but for us...so we can enjoy a better life with a more responsive government that is focused on the peoples needs...the people of THIS country...

Why?

Because we're smarter than the rest of the world.

The United States ranks 34th in the world in terms of Life Expectancy. That's despite the fact that the United States spend more on healthcare than any country in the world. Yet despite all that spending, the United States is not taking care of all of its citizens like the rest of the world is and essentially has a different system of care for those that are rich vs lower class. HOW IS THAT SMART?
 
How many people would quit their shit job tomorrow if it would not cost them and their family insurance? A curious kind of wage slavery exists in America where we accept all sorts of bad behavior by management because they know what it would cost us to stand up and have some pride. Similarly businesses are burdened with the expense of offering insurance instead of decent wages. In short our system is a drag on capitalism.

Wow, you clowns always bring out that debunked talking point.

Get back to Me when they compare apples to apples. We are so diverse as a nation that life expectancy really isn't a viable metric of healthcare. In fact, it is a testament to how good our health services are that we rank that high at all.

How about you try being honest here. You're not talking about healthcare, your talking about other people picking up the tab for your own life.
 
and everyone on your list from western Europe has major problems
we have Canadians coming across the border looking for health care
people in Scandinavian countries dying at home because they were waiting for SIMPLE chest xrays

but i'm sure if we pull another ACA the one that multinational insurance companies wrote and nancy pelosi said we'll have to wait till its passed to see whats in it 'NOW THAT THE Solution

define socialism derrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrp

Bandwagon fallacy isn't an argument.

How is it Bandwagon fallacy? Plus claiming that its too expensive or simply impossible is not much of an argument either.
"Keeping up with the Joneses" -which is what your argument amounts to- is the classic bandwagon fallacy, and it's not an argument.

Saying that it's prohibitively expensive is an argument, especially in light of the fact that gubmint estimates never ever come in under projections and never ever deliver the service that they claim.....But anyone who knows his ass from a hole in the ground, economically speaking, already knows that's how monopolies work.
 
How many people would quit their shit job tomorrow if it would not cost them and their family insurance? A curious kind of wage slavery exists in America where we accept all sorts of bad behavior by management because they know what it would cost us to stand up and have some pride. Similarly businesses are burdened with the expense of offering insurance instead of decent wages. In short our system is a drag on capitalism.
If I hated My job, I would be spending every free moment developing the skills necessary to get a job that was not so horrendous. That is how you fight poor management.
 
“Why does the United States, the wealthiest country in the world and the 3rd wealthiest per captia country, still not provide Universal Healthcare for its citizens?”

Because conservatives have successfully propagated the lie that in addition to being ‘too expensive,’ providing all Americans access to affordable healthcare will ‘destroy capitalism’ and make America ‘socialist’ – when in fact nothing could be further from the truth.

This is why we need to stop defending the world and re electing the same old tired entrenched lifetime politicians....this is why I do not understand why so many are against Trump...the first outsider that has won the presidency and is openly trying to stop us from being taken advantage of in the world in trade and immigration and openly states he wants us to bring our troops home....not for him but for us...so we can enjoy a better life with a more responsive government that is focused on the peoples needs...the people of THIS country...

Donald Trump is not dedicated to Universal Healthcare at all. The United States needs more immigration into the country not less in order to grow the economy. There are currently 7.3 million unfilled jobs in the United States and Trump is trying to stop people from coming to this country to do those jobs. The United States has global and international interest that it has protected since the end of World War II because those interest are vital to the economic, social, and environmental life of the United States. The United States keeps troops abroad to prevent instability in a global system that it created and is the center of and to prevent another World War from ever happening again.

There are only 21,000 U.S. troops currently stationed in "HOT" active war zones today, FAR LESS THAN THE 220,000 who were stationed in HOT active war zones 11 years ago.
 
Below are the 50 most developed countries in the world ranked according to the UN Human Development index which measures development and standard of living through estimates of GDP per capita, life expectancy, and education. There are a total of 197 countries in the world today. 193 of those countries are part of the United Nations. 45 out of the 50 most developed countries in the world below provide UNIVERSAL HEALTHCARE for its citizens, essentially medicare for all. The following are the five countries from the list below that do not:

01. Cyprus
02. United Arab Emirates
03. Qatar
04. Bahrain
05. United States

Cyprus is currently In the process of moving to a Universal Healthcare system which will be completed in a few years. That will leave the United States alone with three Arab countries as being the only countries, of the 50 most developed in the world, that do not have Universal HealthCare.

Why does the United States, the wealthiest country in the world and the 3rd wealthiest per captia country, still not provide Universal Healthcare for its citizens? How could anyone say that Universal HealthCare is impossible or too expensive for the United States when nearly all of the 50 most developed countries in the world provide it for its citizens?

“Why does the United States, the wealthiest country in the world and the 3rd wealthiest per captia country, still not provide Universal Healthcare for its citizens?”

Because conservatives have successfully propagated the lie that in addition to being ‘too expensive,’ providing all Americans access to affordable healthcare will ‘destroy capitalism’ and make America ‘socialist’ – when in fact nothing could be further from the truth.

Well, there is a lot of capitalism among those 50 most developed countries. I mean, most Billionaires in the world live in those 50 most developed countries. Most of the large private Business's, Large corporations, multi-national corporations in the world are located in those 50 most developed countries. I would also say that most business activity in the world and most profit is made in those 50 most developed countries. With the exception of five of them, all of them provide Universal Healthcare of their citizens. Rather than being unusual, Universal Healthcare is a common feature among wealthy, developed, capitalist, democratic countries.

There are only five oddballs that don't provide among the 50:

01. Cyprus - within 5 years Cyprus will have Universal Healthcare
02. Bahrain
03. United Arab Emirates
04. Qatar
05. United States

I think the United States has a lot to learn from the other 49 most developed countries in the world.
Why force shit on people that want nothing to do with it?

A. Most Americans want Universal Healthcare
B. Universal Healthcare will make the United States a stronger more developed country
